Success!
I was finally able to file everything, and I'm done for another year.
Using TT Premier Desktop, PC.
As I mentioned a few days ago, when I separated out Fed & State, I was able to file FED (Accepted 40 minutes later), but State still wouldn't go through. Transmit Returns button was there, but did nothing, as TT Stayed on the same screen.
So I followed the advice of a few other posters, went into my FED (already filed & accepted), changed the Foreign Tax from Credit to Deduction... then back to Credit (TT changed FED amount due accordingly), but State owed was unchanged. Then was able to file State (Indiana) successfully! Accepted 10 hours later.
Through this process, the FED amount owed changed, and was 'wrong'. Had to go through the file, compare against a copy to add back some carry-over figures; finally got TT Fed numbers back to where they should be -- useful for next years tax season... to bring the correct numbers over.
This has been one of the toughest years to use TT. Is it due to TT or the IRS making changes to the Tax Code and/or the forms? What do we do next year? I saw one poster tried TaxAct, but encountered similar problems with FTC / 1116 (plus, if I read it correctly, TaxAct was quite a bit more $89 Fed + $64 State ?
