Form 1116 shows an incorrect error on line 33

The message is that line 33 should be blank, and it is but line 35 is not.  Overriding line 35 to blank it out fixes the incorrect error but you can't file the return that way.

Hi;

I just got finished with wrestling the 1116 to the ground and successfully filed. Based on your screen shot, it looks like you need some help understanding where to do the inputs. I could walk you through how I have set things up on a zoom meeting if you are interested.
