Form 1116 - how to cause entry of previously entered data??

[edenskier]

I have received an email saying the form is available, and I have updated Turbotax Premier, but the Form 1116 doesn't seem to have filled properly from the data I entered (1099-DIV etc).

How do I make this happen??

You can ensure you have followed these steps to enter your form correctly:

1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and open (continue) your return
2. Select Federal from the top menu, then Wages & Income
3. Choose I'll choose what I work on
4. Locate the section titled Interest & Dividends then select Start or Revisit next to Dividends on 1099-DIV
5. Select Yes on the screen Did you receive any dividend income 
6. Choose how you'd like to enter your 1099-DIV:
   • If you want to import your form, select your bank or brokerage from the list, enter your sign-in info for your online account, and select Get my form 
   • If you'd rather manually enter your form, select Change how I enter my form. Select 1099-DIV, then Type it in myself on the following screen
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the info from your 1099-DIV
8. When you reach the screen Here's your 1099-DIV info, the form you just entered should be listed

Note: Don't combine the amounts from two or more 1099-DIV forms if they're from the same payer—enter each form separately.

If you have any carryovers from prior years the Schedule B Form 1116 is not yet finalized.  You can track it's availability here:

What ultimately worked was to go to the Form 1116 through the Forms route, and manually enter the foreign source income and foreign tax paid from the 1099-Divs for those that had foreign income - fortunately only 2 of them!!  You also need to know to enter "various" for country and RIC if this is for mutual funds.
