In past years foreign credits from General income (such as non Gov't pension income earned in another country with non resident tax deducted) is tagged as "General" income as is Copy 1 of form 1116. If you have a income, credit associated with a "Lump-sum payment" that becomes form 1116 Copy 2. Only then does "Passive" income from dividends, interest, etc, related to foreign income and tax deducted can be Copy # 3 of form 1116.
In 2023 Turbo Tax it states I should first report Dividends, Interest and Schedule K-1 before entering the foreign tax for General and Lump-Sum income. Has Turbo tax been updated so it knows the proper order for the various Copies of form 1116? If the proper order is not maintained you got a filing error in prior years.
