Hello,   I became a passive investor at a new restaurant from 2023. I didn't receive any K-1 until late 2024 so I have to amend my 2023 and 2024 returns. My main goal was to track the business losses for the first couple years when it started. I have already had my 2023 amendment approved.   I didn't really notice this because it's minor compared to other things on the K-1. In box 15, I have an amount ($1,055, code N, for both 2023 and 2024 K-1s). I looked back at my 2023 amended tax return, this amount is reflected on form 3800 part III, and form 8582-CR lines 4a, 4c, 5, and 7. From my own research, it seems this credit (FICA?) can be carried forward for 20 years. And since I was not able to use any of them in my 2023 return, should it have also been put in part IV of form 3800 so they can be tracked in later years? Why turbotax decided to not put the amount there? What else did I miss? Shall I re-do my 2023 amendment?   There is also another challenge - I used a different turbotax account for tax year 2023 and before, and a new account since 2024 onwards, making it hard for my 2024 return to automatically recognize the above information from the previous year - is there any way to manually input these when I amend my 2024 return?   I have been using Windows web browser version of Turbotax - not sure which edition it should be but I usually pay minimum fees and never used live expert help.   Many thanks in advance.   Edit: Also, currently the K-1 interview of Turbotax Online 2024 does not ask me about unallowed 2023 passive activity credit from 8582-CR and therefore does not record it properly for me in the proposed 2024 amendment.
It is supposed to be available by the end of next week.

In order to populate the specific-country data for income and taxes paid, you may need to create entries for additional dummy 1099-DIV's that only include data of foreign income and foreign tax per each country (so that your U.S.-source income is not double-counted or quadruple-counted), until all 4 countries have been entered. This is a common workaround across many tax software vendors. You might want to reference this Community conversation as a starting point.     For the 2 1099's with foreign taxes paid to the same country, enter them both as usual, and TurboTax should collate them together on Form 1116 correctly. Tag me @MelindaS1 if you have issues with the final computation.    Learn more: TurboTax FAQ - Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?
