Foreign Tax Credit - Double what it should be

[jmjamrozy]

I noticed the Foreign tax credit being inserted on the 1040 is high.

It should be $4 and somehow TT is calculating $8.  I have chased through the forms and found the value in Form 1116  line 35 is incorrect.  I have been through the forms and I still don't see how it is calculating this incorrectly.  If I override the value will I still be able to electronically submit the forms?

if you enter any override not only will you not be able to e-file. Turbotax's accuracy guarantee is void.

you need to review your input - the forms you enter the FTC credit on and page 1 of form 1116. if you entred your FTC thru 1099-div, 1099-int, k-1 FTC section you do not enter it again on form 1116.

by the way, if your total passive income FTC is less than $300 form 1116 is not required.  then you do not link the input forms to the 1116
