My e-file was rejected due to a 1116 error. How do I delete 1116 and renter?

[martyp1]

My E-File was rejected with the following reason:

/Return/   ReturnData/   IRS1116/     ForeignTaxCreditSource/   USTaxWithheldOnDividendAmt - Data in the return is missing or invalid.

I manually reentered the data, but the e-file was rejected again.   There must be something that I am missing.  How do I delete the 1116 and start over?

Be sure that you  are eligible for the Foreign tax credit.

Taxes paid to other countries qualify for the foreign tax credit when:

• They were levied on your income.
• You were legally obliged to pay them.
• You did pay them.
• You did not gain from paying them, and
• The United States has not sanctioned the country.

Eligible taxes include income tax you paid to local and provincial governments. They do not include sales, value-added, real estate or luxury taxes paid to a foreign government.
