Deductions & credits

Hi @pk, thanks so much for your analysis. and thoughts.

 

@pk , @BME  - I have already filed my returns with the Safe Harbor election that TT chose for me - I did not override it and force the use of 1116. Which means I have now lost the chance to carry it forward and claim the FTC next year (unless I file an amendment, which is a hassle I will forego).

I would have expected TT to automatically fill out the necessary forms to carry it forward when it recognized that the FTC was being "lost" - or at least presented me with the option to either lose it or carry it forward. Am I expecting too much? Is there a way to report this behavior to TurboTax so perhaps they can improve TT's handling of this use case?
