Deductions & credits

I have exactly the same predicament as Jasmith63 (numerous U.S. income only K-1s and a small foreign tax credit from other sources).

 

To complicate the problem, for those of us who actually tried  to port the K-3 information into the TT Schedule K-3 Worksheets is that the TT worksheet does not correspond to the actual K-3, making its completion total guesswork.  Not only can you not enter U.S. in Line A as "Name of Country", but the remaining line items B through AI on the worksheet do not tie to the structure of the actual K-3 (which is divided into many Parts (I through X), with numerous numbered lines.  The Step by Step process does provide  some sketchy guidance but is totally inadequate in resolving the presentation. 

I get that IRS opened the door to this mess which now generates pages and pages of useless information for every partner in an already problematic area (K-1s), but TT needs to shore up its solution.

 

Thank you,
