Hello.
For the past 5 years I have had no issues with "QUALIFIYING for the Foreign Tax Credit without filing out Form 1116". For instance 2020 I took the $7 credit without filling out Form 1116. However for 2021, I want to take the foreign tax credit of $5 also without filling out 1116 but durign the Federal Review, looks like Form 1116 needs to be filled out. What changed in 2021? The 1099-DIV is still the same as last year. In fact, I have had the same 1099-DIV form for the past 5 years.
FYI, for TurboTax 2020, there is a message saying "If you're eligible to claim a foreign tax credit in 2021 without filing Form 1116, your must elect again next year." So this is what i am trying to do.
Back in 2019, there was a similar report of a bug and there was a workaround. However for the 2021 software, the workaround mentions items that I can seem to find in the "forms view".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
