Using dialog box offered in TurboTax, which is helpful in some instances and not very straightforward in other instances.

Using TurboTax, it is easy to oversee employment income, interest income and social security benefits. For Pension income, however, I tried both options, that is, 1099-OID, Foreign Accounts and IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) and each time failed. How to enter these amounts to generate appropriate forms like 1116, 8893, etc. How to or where to enter taxes withheld in Canada to claim foreign tax credits on Form 1040 using Schedule 3, etc.
