The associated TT comment is: Form 1116 (Copy 1) -- Explanation Stm: Detailed Explanation must be completed. Enter your explanation here to complete the required statement. It must show the other deduction items for line 3B column a. I entered N/A to continue with the review since I had no idea about the value in line 3B.

Navigate the entries until you reach a screen that says other Deductions not Definitely Related. Here you can edit the description box. This is what the screen will look like because this is the entry that is entered on line 3 column A of Form 1116.
