Filling out form 1116 may be preferable to the TT interview

All my tax foreign taxes come from foreign stock dividends. There are over 30 countries involved from 3 different brokerages with an amount totally over $3000.

Unless, the IRS changed their requirements (or agents provided different information), only one 1116 is required for passive income. Only a few countries require separate sheets.

Since TT advises that the step-by-step interview is best with this complex form, I began with this as a means of checking what I'd fill in manually. For me, this approach posed far more complexity than simply filling out the form manually as I've done in previous years sans question from the IRS.
