Sorry I took so long to answer as I was 'testing' the various solutions in my return. I'm happy to report that I'm following your solution! It's what I did last year before I went in the weeds this year when I discovered IRS 'Basic Q&A to limitations...' dated 10 Jan 2023. Go figure!
For those following this thread, I have a storied 60+ year relationship with the IRS & 30+ years with TurboTax so I check & triple (at least) check my returns. I'm happy to award 5 stars to this solution! Thanks again Champ!
