Form 1116 - Foreign tax credit issue

[bk1968]

I showed a $73 Foreign Tax Paid (Brokerage account 1099-DIV Box 7) that was imported into Turbo Tax automatically with the desktop version.  Upon "checking for errors" I am getting a Check the Entry error for "Form 1116 : Line 33 should be blank".  The issue is that Line 33 is shown blank.  Line 34 is shown yellow highlight (blank of value also).  and the only line with a value is line 35 highlighted red and showing the $73 value.  I am not sure where to turn...or how to fix this issue.  Any advise would be appreciated

This TurboTax Help states that TurboTax Desktop reports a red value as overridden, invalid or estimated.

Have you reported the dividend income and country code by entering Foreign Tax Credit information?  Follow these steps:

1. Across the top of the screen, click Federal Taxes.
2. Across the top of the screen, click Deductions & credits.
3. Select I'll choose what I work on.
4. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
5. Click to the right of Foreign Tax Credit.

This may be helpful.

It looks as though the worksheet was added by mistake or something.

I deleted the WKS and now all seems well

Thanks
