When will the foreign tax credit area be available? Trying to file my taxes, made money in Germany. trying to claim my credit but it says its not ready yet.

I made money in Germany, paid German taxes, filled out the proper stuff and when it mentioned deductions or a credit I select credit and it says the area is not ready yet and then IRS is still working on finishing form 1116. I can't find an answer on google for when this is supposed to be available. I'm not interested in paying more taxes on something I already paid taxes on in another country.

Form 1116, Foreign Tax Credit for tax year 2021 is estimated to be finalized and available in TurboTax on 02/24/2022.

Go to this TurboTax website for IRS forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html

Just checked, and the latest update doesn't contain the final form. So we will wait another two weeks, and then perhaps it will be ready then? I hope so. It's tough to be ready to file for six weeks while waiting for one last form, and knowing that getting the return done early is imperative this year.
