Form 8915 is for qualified disaster distributions and repayments.  If this does not apply to your situation, but the form is  being generated, you can fix this by going back and double check your answers.  There are a couple of questions that ask if this is a disaster withdrawal and if this is a repayment of a disaster withdrawal.  If you answered yes to either of those questions or said that you spread repayment over 3 years, this form would be generated.     To fix this issue, walk back through the questions asked after entering the 1099-R.  To do this select Income>>Update next to the 1099-R.     As you go through pay special attention to the wording and answer the questions as they apply correctly. If you did not do a disaster withdrawal or repayment be sure to answer the question to say you did not take one or repay one.   After you go through those answers, you can then delete the form if it did not go away on its own.  See instructions below on how to delete a form in TurboTax Online.  In desktop, you will just switch to forms mode.     From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.) On the drop-down select Tools On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form  This will show all of the forms in your return Scroll down to the form you want to delete Select the Form Click on Delete.  Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.   

We have tested Minnesota form M1QPEN.    The form may display and report $0 amount qualified for subtraction.  The form is coded ‘N’ for Not eligible for subtraction.  Minnesota form M1 does not report a pension subtraction.   In such cases, the form is not included in the final forms reporting Minnesota income tax.   Thank you for your patience.    @steve-kohlmeyer

Yes, here are the answers to your questions.   1) Why you don’t see “Data Source” or “QuickZoom” on Form 1116 AMT, Line 18 (Mac Desktop TurboTax Premier 2025) TurboTax’s Mac desktop UI is different from the Windows version, and several long‑standing right‑click features (Data Source, Jump To, QuickZoom) do not appear on all forms in the Mac build. This is a known inconsistency and has been reported repeatedly by users. There is no official documentation from Intuit explaining why certain forms lack right‑click options on macOS, but multiple TurboTax forum threads confirm that: Some worksheets exist internally but cannot be opened from the Mac UI.  Some forms do not expose Data Source even though they do on Windows. This matches exactly what you’re seeing. 2) Why you cannot find the “Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116) Computation Worksheet” in the Forms list TurboTax employees have confirmed that: The Line 18 Worksheet is included in the desktop version, BUT it is not always visible in the Forms list, and It is often omitted from the PDF, even when TurboTax used it in the calculation. This is a known limitation and has been complained about by multiple users. It is addressed in this TurboTax link. So your experience is consistent with others: the worksheet exists internally, but TurboTax does not expose it in the Mac UI or in the printed forms. 3) Why TurboTax is using different multipliers than the IRS worksheet — and where those numbers come from You are correctthat the IRS Instructions for Form 1116 (2025) do not mention any AMT‑specific multipliers in the Line 18 worksheet. And you are also right that the IRS worksheet uses:   0.4595 for 20% rate income  0.5946 for 15% rate income These are the correct IRS‑published factors. So now you ask,  why is TurboTax giving you different numbers?   3. TurboTax is modifying the worksheet for AMT — but the IRS does not explicitly say to do this. This is the source of the confusion. A tax expert discussion (Claimyr, 2026)  explains this here that:   The AMT version of Form 1116 must use AMT‑adjusted taxable income,  Therefore the Line 18 worksheet must be recomputed using AMT income, Even though the IRS does not explicitly publish a separate AMT worksheet. This is because Form 6251 creates a parallel tax system, and the foreign tax credit must be computed within that system. This means: The IRS worksheet factors (0.4595, 0.5946) are correct for regular tax.  TurboTax is recomputing the factors using AMT taxable income, which changes the ratios. The IRS does not publish the AMT‑specific factors, so each software vendor must compute them internally. This is why you cannot find the numbers TurboTax uses anywhere on the IRS website. 4) Why your spreadsheet still doesn’t match TurboTax even when you use the suggested factors This is also consistent with known issues. Two things are happening: A) TurboTax is applying AMT adjustments that are not documented anywhere in the UI Users have reported that TurboTax: Adds back the standard deduction for AMT purposes Adjusts qualified dividends and capital gains differently Uses AMT taxable income instead of regular taxable income Applies the new 2025 Line 18 rules (which changed significantly) B) TurboTax does not show the worksheet it actually used This is why you cannot reconcile the numbers — you are missing the internal worksheet. This is confirmed by multiple users who could not match TurboTax’s Line 18 calculation because the worksheet is hidden.   So is TurboTax doing it wrong? Based on all available evidence: TurboTax is doing it right, even if it may appear that they aren't. The IRS does not publish an AMT‑specific Line 18 worksheet. The IRS does require that AMT foreign tax credit calculations use AMT taxable income. Therefore, the software must internally adjust the worksheet. TurboTax does this, but does not show the worksheet, especially on Mac.  @TDTorc65   

Hopefully this will provide the information you need. You must mail your tax return for 2025. CP59 and CP518 are IRS notices sent to taxpayers who have not filed required tax returns. A CP59 is an initial notice stating the IRS has no record of a prior year's return. A CP518 is a final reminder notice indicating that the return is severely overdue.

Can you give us some more information to clarify your situation? Was the refund from your original return? Did the amended return show zero tax due when you first started? Did you file the amended return?

Again, thank you for staying with us on this conversation, as we continue to learn and understand.  We wonder why others in this situation have not come up with the same questions. It is puzzling. I guess when it comes to the IRS, no one wants to question or rock the boat 🙂 It looks like on six, they combined or added or ages. Not sure what seven age factor/payment months means. Interesting, is the recovery amount allowed is the exact same every year. It does not increase or decrease. Assuming all males live to 85 is a stretch. I know it is not true in our family. Not even close. But then why force the recovery to age 85?  And the question heard most, is why, if they owe us, do they get 21-30 years to pay it back. If we owe the IRS, we pay immediate, and 100%. The next question, is if they owe, why can't we apply taxes owed, towards what they owe us? Fair for both. again, we thank you kindly. Hopefully this conversation is helping others with the same questions.  S&L
