2021 Form 1116 Schedule B (carryovers) can't efile

[unmesh59]

Before the latest update to the desktop version, I had manually blanked out the unused foreign tax credit carryover from 2020 based on instructions earlier in the thread in order to be able to file without the 1116 Schedule B. Now the amount shows up on page 3 of the 1116 Comp Wks but does not add to the foreign taxes paid in 2021 in my 2021 tax return nor does it show as a carryover into 2022. And it does not generate a 1116 Schedule B.

I'd hate to have to go back and redo the entire return and I'm hoping someone in a similar situation has figured out a shortcut they can share.

This is too late to be helpful now, but before backing anything out or otherwise messing with my entries, I always make a duplicate copy of the TurboTax file so that if I mess anything up I can simply reopen the original. The nice thing about the desktop verson is that you can run multiple 'what if' iterations without risking what you have so far.

Hi @unmesh59 ,

I was in the same place as you, in that I cut the carryover value initially and then I filed. After the update, I was able to get schedule B to appear and the carryover for 2022 to show up. What I did was go to the 1116 Comp Wks form, under "Foreign Tax Carryovers to 2022" and look for the red number, a 0, and "right-click" the value to display the popup for that number. Then I chose the Remove Override menu option, and my carryover appeared there. It also automatically generated the Schedule B form.

I didn't completely understand what you said, but if you're trying to fill in the values that you blanked out, you will have to manually re-enter them. Revisit the Foreign Tax section, choose to get credit this time, acknowledge that there are carryovers, etc.

1) You can get the numbers from last year's saved return and worksheets (if you have them), or

2) You can start a new duplicate return and once you import from 2020, flip on the Forms button, choose the form you need and the numbers will be there. No need to go through all the other interview and entry sections. Print the forms you need and manually copy to the "original" return. Then just delete this duplicate return.

[unmesh59]

Form 1116 Comp Wks shows the correct carryover on Page 3 rightmost column but does not then copy it to Form 1116 Line 10. And I didn't see any entries in red that I could remove the override on.

So I went back to Q&A and changed the option to Schedule A Deduction, finished the section, went back, changed it to Credit, completed the section again and I now have the carryover correctly accounted for!

Also, I was able to do an efile without having to create a PDF of the 1116ScheduleB

P.S.: And I will remember to keep copies of every version of my return next year (along with version notes) while it is still a work in progress!

@Billzona I have the same issue with Technical Hiccup on MacOS.  Did you figure it out?

[mikeferris22]

On Mac, transmit return is failing and this is in the Console logs. Can anyone decipher and give a hint?

There is a Console log error with the following. Does anyone have any idea what it means and why it leads to Transmit step failing?

I filed on 03/11 with creating the directory of attachment for the schedule B pdf. IRS accepted the efile. However, by now, when I check the return status on IRS site, it says cannot find (info not correct), anyone has this issue?

[Sonnyof42]

I did the same (e-filed on 3/11 with attachment & accepted).  When I log in to my IRS account it just says "Your 2021 Tax Return Is Not Processed", and the explanation says it takes up to 21 days to process e-file returns.  It doesn't acknowledge whether the return has been filed.

[Anonymous]

On your turbo tax program , does the tax return status states it is efiled and accepted? 

[xingchen1999199]

Yes, from turbotax. It says accepted. But do you all receive email confirmation from IRS? or just Turbtax?

IRS cannot find my return.

[xingchen1999199]

@Sonnyof42  IRS complains that my info mismatch. But I repeatedly entered the exact info form tax return.

[monophoto]

My return was filed on Friday and was accepted about 20 minutes later.  State return accepted on Saturday.  And the direct debit from my bank to the IRS hit the account early this morning.  So I'm reasonably certain that the process worked.

After completing my return, I responded to the quality questionnaire in TT.  Just got a phone call from someone at TT asking for more details about the problem.  So it appears that this situation has gotten someone's attention.  I told the caller that this situation came about because of a last-minute change by the IRS, but the real issue was the absolutely lousy way that TT handled the matter - first announcing that they would not be able to support e-filing of returns with Form 1116 Schedule B, then announcing that e-Filing would be supported, but then failing to provide sufficient instructions with the release of the software to allow users to actually e-File.

The sad thing is that something similar happened a few years ago - with so much 'bad press' that it was even report on the local TV news.  I would think that Intuit would have learned the lesson that they need to think carefully about what they are doing, and make sure that they have their act really together.

[MishawakaKirk]

So you used a Debit directly within TT to Pay taxes owed?
I've always used a Standalone payment direct to the IRS, from the IRS site to make payments... but I love your idea, as you're right.  It's a Great Confirmation that your form was received and acknowledged.  They can't deny it, can they?
