@Bob-777 , thank you for the additional info provide by you.
(a) since I did not have details of the 1099-DIV i.e. total dividends; qualified dividends and total foreign taxes paid;
and
(b) based on your earlier comment & additional details as to total and qualified dividends for the three foreign sources of income ( country A , plus two RICs ),
I created a new return, starting with 1099-DIV, entering a dummy foreign taxes paid -- $6000, ; chose to take Foreign Tax Credit. This resulted in creation of a new form 1116. Now I went into forms mode and filled out the 1116 worksheet per the information you provided ( Col A country Australia, Col B and C being RICs ) eg. line 1(c) and line 1(f) for each column. The results were as expected and NO ERROR.
So I am not sure that I understand your issue i.e. have not been able to duplicate the issue.
That brings me back to the actual process of entering -- did you have to over-ride anything -- that is only time that you may get an error .
So I need more info from you to be able to duplicate the issue and se why TurboTax is misbehaving.
Please help -- tell me in detail the steps you took to enter the date, the entries on 1099-DIV ( box by box ).
