First off thanks to all who responded.
I meet all criteria to default to Schedule A. When TurboTax (downloaded program). Income was passive (ordinary dividends); Foreign Tax is less than $300 and it is reported on 1099-Div.
I answer "No" to the question if I want to use Foreign Tax credit instead of Schedule A
I answer "No" to the question if I want to report additional foreign tax not already included elsewhere.
I have no financial interest nor signature authority over foreign trust, etc.
Despite entering the $299.28 in Foreign Tax on the 1099-Div section, when working on the Foreign Tax line of form, it shows $0.
When I complete the "Smart Check" it still forces me to complete Form 1116.
I deleted the form and checked my work and it still requires me to complete the form.
I am stumped,
Thanks!
