Foreign Tax Credit Carryover: Credit available, but no 2018 foreign income. I cannot get Form 1116 to work for me. Can someone to walk me through this?

[khpavey]

Form 1116 won't work for me.

PART I: I have no foreign income for 2018, only US income, so I can only put $0 into line 1a. Without a foreign income line 3f cannot function.

PART II: On line A , should I enter the tax paid in 2017? If I do, then the program will not accept the date paid. If I don't, then the program appears assume that I have no tax credit available.

Without any foreign income, you can't claim any credit even though you have carryovers available.
