Yes, this is perfectly acceptable and necessary in your case. TurboTax’s automated interview process relies on an amount in Box 6 (Foreign Tax Paid). If you enter “0,” the software generally ignores that 1099-INT for Form 1116. By manually overriding this in the worksheet, you make sure the income is still treated as Foreign Source Income, which is important for calculating your Foreign Tax Credit accurately.
