This is a software error and here is the workaround.
Bring up Form 1040 and make sure the credit is posted on line 48. If it is then bring up the
1099-DIV Worksheet. In Box 7, double click on the f1116 icon.
Another box will appear. You will see the phrase “Form 1116 (COPY 1)”. Click on that and it will be highlighted. Then click on the “LINK” button.
That box will disappear and you will see the phrase “COPY 1” inside the f1116 icon.
Then recheck Form 1040 and make sure the credit is still posted on line 48. If so, the error is cleared, no f1116 will be generated and you are done.
