Thank you - I had not seen that special instruction, and have made a note of it for my records.
Found a way to solve my my remaining issue and thought to post for the community.
I want to generate Forms 1116 for income categories for which I received no income nor paid tax in 2022, because I will report foreign tax credit carryovers relating to these income categories. I cannot find IRS guidance on whether it is necessary to file Form 1116 when in this situation, but in previous years, my accountants have done so.
In the foreign tax credit section, TurboTax allows the user to select the income categories and enter the carryover amounts from previous years. While TurboTax's completed tax form will show the carryovers in worksheets, it does not generate Forms 1116s for these categories, because there is no income or tax paid that is identified relating to these categories.
My fix was, within each income category, to enter the countries from previous years to which the carryover amounts relate. In each country, on the screen "Foreign Taxes Paid - (Country Name)" select "No, I have foreign taxes paid on rental, royalty, or other income (including wages). Then enter Foreign Taxes on Other Income of 0. This compels TurboTax to generate a blank Form 1116 for the income category.
