Using 2022 Desktop Deluxe and now that I understand what needs to be done LINE 18 in FORM 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit) does appear defective: I have foreign earned income, No foreign passive investments i.e. Dividends or Capital gains, and my only USA income is passive from mutual funds (reported in a form 1099-DIV). The program has all the data and creates a Foreign Credit Worksheet with a tick mark on ELIGIBLE FOR LINE 18 ADJUSTMENT ( I meet both criteria) .. but the program DOES NOT DO THE ADJUSTMENT. I understand, in my case (because I meet the criteria to adjust line 18) it should subtract my 1099-DIV qualified Dividends and Capital Gains from the Total Foreign income in line 18 instead of just copying line 15 of the 1040. Because of this problem I get only a fraction of my Foreign Taxes paid recognized as a credit and end up with a NON ZERO tax due , when in reality it should be NO Tax due .. I have used Turbi Tax for years and I never expected a "dumb" mistake like this. Since you have an accuracy guarantee I would like to claim it (although I am not so naïve as to believe I will get anything other than excuses .... May be a refund of the price paid for the faulty product may be the least you could do.
