Logic error in the Foreign Taxes Credit calculations

There is a logic error in the Foreign Taxes Credit calculations.

When you enter the Foreign-Source Income for RIC on the Foreign-Source Income page, and then click Continue, a box is checked in the 1116 Comp Wks form (Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet) Part 1 "to make adjustments for foreign qualified dividends and/or capital gains for line 1."

When you later click on Yes on the "No Other Income or Expenses" page, the make adjustments check box is not cleared.  There is no logic through the remaining foreign taxes credit calculations that unchecks that box, and you can't manually uncheck it, even if there are no adjustments to be made.

So, when you run the Federal Review, it shows there is an error in the 1116 Comp Wks form (Part 1 line h Qual. Dividends and LT Capital Gains for column A) and there is no way to enter blank or zero.  It wants a fictitious number of some kind.

Bottom line - I have been unable to get through the Federal Review.

I ran into this problem last year, and hit it again this year too. I believe the answer is to choose " No" on the "No Other Income or Expenses" page. This is extremely unintuitive to me. My only guess as to why this makes sense to turbo tax is that the question assumes a qualified dividend isn't a dividend. By going down this route, this will eventually bring up a "Any foreign source qualified dividends or long term capital gains?" page that lets you enter this number. My 1099-div lists the qualified vs nonqualified dividends that I can total for this box. 

Again, I feel like turbotax really needs to clarify or reword the "No other income expenses question", and if turbotax knows that the qualified dividend box shouldn't be empty, it should bring up the proper questions in the foreign tax interview rather than wait for the federal review to just dump you into the form with zero context.
