I am using Turbo Tax for 5 years & every year I have difficulty in completing F1116 to get Foreign tax credit. This year I was very particular & followed everything properly. The Final Review indicated everything is fine & I did eFile. But it was rejected by IRS due to problem with F1116. I double checked - things look fine & the tax credit amount was correct; Final Review also said OK. Submitted again but rejected by the same F1116 reason (total 3 times failed) . Very Frustating!!
So: 1) I deleted F1116. 2) Saved the File 3) Entered F1116 with only Div information. 4) Saved File 5) Entered F1116 with Int information 6) Saved File. Then eFiled - This time it is accepted. Finally!!
Compared the 4 - printed output - all looks same with correct amount of credit & refund!!!
Moral of the story - Delete the offending Form and start afresh with little steps at a time!
