Hi, thank you for your response. I figured out how to "force" line 18 calculation.
I have a desktop version, so that might be different from your version.
I switch from "Step-by-Step" view to the Forms view (You will find it in the top right corner).
Once you are in the Forms view - find 1116 Comp Wks (the list of all forms will be on the left side).
Look for the box with the title
"Form 1116, Line 18 Adjustment Exception Smart Worksheet
A.
B.
C."
You will find it behind line 16a in the 1116 Comp Wks.
By default, box A is checked (at least it was for me)
Make sure to check box B instead. That is all you need to do!
==============
Basically, by checking box B, you say you do not qualify for an exception
You qualify for the adjustment exception if you meet both of the following requirements.
Line 5 of the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet doesn't exceed:
$364,200 if married filing jointly or qualifying surviving spouse,
$182,100 if married filing separately,
$182,100 if single, or
$182,100 if head of household.
The amount of your foreign source capital gain distributions, plus the amount of your foreign source qualified dividends, is less than $20,000.
If you are subject to the alternative minimum tax, see the special rules in Regulations section 1.904(b)-1(b)(3)."
Also (I had problems with line 1a adjustments) , in the same form "1116 Comp Wks" look for the box with the title "Foreign Qualified Dividends and/or Capital Gains Adjustment Smart Worksheet" and check that box. Below you can manually enter qualified dividends versus unqualified dividends.
I hope this helps.
