@Fred_Fandango If between my explanations above, the instructions for the form 1116 ( IRS), reading of statutes I referred to, and TurboTax help files does not help, I don't know how to provide more help on this. At the same time I do recognize that filling out this form is not easy -- one just has to keep in mind what the purpose of the form is.
As you are perhaps aware that we are all volunteers here , helping users -- there is NIL financial or other connection to Intuit / TurboTax or similar products. The opinions expressed / implied are my own based on my own knowledge & experience.
Is there more I can do for you /
