Deductions & credits

Thanks for sharing! That said, rather than allocating the "excess" amount, I wonder if it wouldn't just be better to ignore the Smart Check warning and file the return as is. Any idea whether TT allows this? If not, I'll try it and report back.

"where did the extra $26 come from? It came from your TY2019 carryover. "

 

Technically, yes. But as you can see in my screenshot, in TY2018 and TY2019 I did not incur any foreign taxes, so really the extra $26 came from TY2017 which is the last time I incurred foreign taxes. As it relates to TY2018 and TY2019, my understanding is that blanks = zeros.
