I have foreign taxes on a Canadian pension - usually I file form 1116 and get a credit for them - I have a carry forward of approx. $10,000. I don't see that form on my 2018 tax file and I can't get the tax credit entered - what has changed this year - Lynne

To enter or check your foreign tax credit carryover amounts, you need to go through the interview for the foreign tax credit.  Please follow these steps:

1. Click on Federal > Deductions & Credits [In TT Home & Biz:  Personal > Deductions & Credits > I'll choose what I work on].
2. Scroll down to the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section.
3. Click on the box next to Foreign Taxes. 
4. On the Foreign Tax Credit screen, click on the Continue box.
5. Continue through the interview, entering the requested information. 
6. Eventually you will come to the Foreign Tax Credit Carryovers screen.
