I understand (or think I do) your problem now. Apparently you didn't use TurboTax in the previous tax year (or for some other reason) so it doesn't remember your carryover from previous years. You can go to "forms" mode, click on Form 1116. Part III Line 10 of Form 1116 is where carryover from previous years is entered. The form says this number comes from Schedule B, line 3, column xiv but that doesn't make sense to me because I don't see that on the 1040 Schedule B. You could look up the actual Schedule B from the IRS to make certain that the one in TurboTax is not outdated or incorrect. Anyway you could enter it into Form 1116, Part III, line 10 and include an explanatory note. Maybe someone else will know where this value comes from (to me it should originate from Part III, line 10 and not anywhere else) but that is just my guess. I do have a carryover this year so when I get the Form 1116 to work for me I will see if it includes the carryover (it should because the step by step has said that I have a carryover) and where the numbers come from.
