Yes after you enter the 1099R the next screen will ask Do any of these situations apply to you with a list. The 7th item is "I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity". Check that and the next screen will be either for RMD info or ask how much was transferred to Charity. Just keep going though all the screens.   Then do NOT enter it again under Deductions & Credits. It only goes on the 1099R entry.  Otherwise you would be deducting it twice.  

Go to the following link for instructions. How do I file my return by mail? When you file by mail you have to attach copies of any W-2 forms, and copies of any 1099-R forms that have tax withheld. We recommend that you mail it by certified mail with a return receipt so that you have tracking and confirmation of delivery.  

Please excuse my blunt reply, but don't tell me TurboTax is accurately computing the credit.  You don't have my return numbers and composition, and you don't have my experience.   You don't ask a single question and presume that I don't know what goes into the computation. I have had foreign tax credits in prior years, and I know the computation components very well.  THE PROGRAM IS WRONG WITH MY RETURN DETAILS.   See my reply to the prior poster.  

After looking at the Utah forms on the DOR website, it appears that TurboTax desktop is not generating the underlines for all of the fields on the TC-40, TC-40B, and TC-40W forms (names, addresses, numbers, ...). When opening the PDF file in Acrobat Reader, the "An error exists on this page" error message only occurs when first viewing the TC-40 page.  It does not occur if I first view the TC-40B or TC-40W pages even though the underlines are not being generated; it only occurs once I attempt to view the TC-40 page.  

I bought a download version of TurboTax Deluxe 2025 from Amazon.  Before TurboTax was updated late Jan 2026 that allowed me to directly enter my 1099-R information, I was able to go forms view and manually create and enter data into a 1099-R. I used my 2024 TurboTax return to verify that I manually entered the 1099-R data correctly.  Turbotax did not include the added 1099-R in my tax calculations until I save my file, closed it and then opened again.           turbo

My 1099-MISC is not mapped to Schedule C because it is not a Schedule C reportable item.  It is reported on Schedule 1, Line 3z as "Other Income."  Specifically, the brokerage reported interest income that was earned on loaned securities.  I am not in the business of loaning money, but the brokerage loans stock positions I own to short-sellers and I earn interest from the brokerage on the loans of those securities.       I am not sure why you believe I was stating the item should be excluded as I never stated it should be excluded.  It is an item of gross income, and I understand that fully.    The problem with TurboTax programming remains the same - When an item of gross income reported on Schedule 1, line 3z is reported (by the way .003 of total gross income), TurboTax changes my gross income on Form 1116, Line 3e by decreasing my income 79%, and thereby improperly reducing my foreign tax credit.   This remains a TurboTax software issue.  There are no diagnostics, and no errors.  TurboTax is happy for me to electronically file my return incorrectly because they don't care that I would be overpaying my taxes.    

How would he manually fill out the form - How would he know how much of the credit to pay back i any on a manual form? His income from interest and dividends was about $1000.00 I think.   It would be better if he claimed it. Does not seem right that we would have to cover the whole credit when his summer job fell through...
