In past years, TurboTax has entered the Foreign Tax Paid figure from my 1099-DIV and I usually only had to look up the Foreign Source Income and enter the Total Figure on 1099-DIV in Forms. Well, this year, there's a Form 1116 showing a $0 Tax Credit since it hasn't been filled out.
Apparently, the figures were not transferred from the 1099-DIV. I entered the Foreign Income and Tax Paid manually in the 1099-DIV in TurboTax (Desktop Edition.)
Form 1116 is not required for a Foreign Tax Credit of $570 if I understand correctly. I have deleted the Form several times but it keeps showing back up again.
I don't want to complete the Form since it isn't necessary and I have no idea how to do so or what any of the language means. Fidelity is responsible for my investments so all I know is what I see on my 1099-DIV which should have transferred into TurboTax when I imported the data.
How can I get rid of that Form 1116? Apparently my 1099-DIV did not provide the data that a Form 1116 requires.
And NO, I do not want the Tax Deduction on Schedule A, I want the Tax Credit.
