@rogge1722 I had exactly the same FTC problem in preparing my 2023 return. I had $56 in foreign taxes paid on foreign dividends,. These foreign taxes and the related divs are on the uploaded 1099-DIV.
Yet, the interview tells me:
------
You've met the requirements for taking the foreign tax credit without filling out Form 1116, but we don't see any foreign tax payments made (or there is no taxable income to apply the foreign tax credit against).
To enter foreign tax payments you must return to the income section of your return to enter foreign taxes paid on interest, dividends, or Schedule K-1 before you continue with the credit.
------
I then attempted to help the software by creating a Form 1116 (even though none is required). That Form accepted the foreign tax amount and the related dividends, but does NOT generate or show an FTC. I can't use the FTC for 2023, but expected to see it as a carryover into 2024. Nope, not there.
I have foreign taxes paid on divs every year, and 2023 is the first year I've had this problem. Seems many have posted about it. I've already filed my return, but would like to know how to make the program work correctly, as I don't want to lose the FTC carryovers.
Wondering if you can help?
