Hello. I was struggling with this exact same problem. I did not want to paper file. TT had on the record that I had prior years to carryover the foreign tax paid out. But , then , when I looked at last years TT return, there was the foreign tax credit entry on the 1040 . So, now I just am not putting any carryover at all and am ready to efile. I do not know if others will see that this is their situation, but you never know ! Maybe this helps.
