Well, I looked carefully at the 1040 for 2020 and also for 2019 , and both had the entries for the foreign tax credit , which were subtracted from the tax due. And the returns were accepted. So, I really don't know how TT used these as a carryover, since they were used. Anyhow, if you or others find this to be the case , my workaround was to go back to topic list , and either ignore or answer no to the carryover question. Now I see I can efile , no problems.
