Issue Printing Form 1116 and Related Worksheets
Update / Resolved:
I confirmed that when the allowed foreign tax credit is $0, TurboTax may suppress Form 1116 and related worksheets from the filing/print packet. This is expected behavior.
Carryovers are still preserved in the TurboTax data file and will transfer to next year’s return, even if Form 1116 is not filed this year.
***************************
Hello,
I am having trouble getting the following 3 items to print in TurboTax Desktop 2025, and I want to make sure they are included properly for IRS filing:
- Form 1116 – I can see it in Forms view, and I can print it individually, but it does not appear in any of the print packets, including “Print Return Only” or “Print Return & All Calculation Worksheets.”
- Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet – behaves the same as Form 1116: it prints individually but does not appear in any print packets.
- Foreign Tax Carryover Reconciliation Schedule – this is not generating in my current return. I do have a hard copy from a previous version of my 2025 return where the form and related worksheets printed correctly. While capturing screenshots of the interview, something appears to have changed, and the form stopped generating. To troubleshoot, I performed a full reset: uninstalled TurboTax Desktop, deleted all related files (including TY25 return files), reinstalled the software, and recreated the return from scratch by re-entering all data.
FYI, these are the steps I followed to uninstall and reinstall, per help in Turbo tax:
“1. Uninstall TurboTax from your computer. 2. Show hidden files in File Explorer by selecting the View menu and checking the Hidden Items box.
3. Delete folders for the tax year from these locations:
- C:\ProgramData\Intuit\TurboTax\TY25
- C:\ProgramData\Intuit\TurboTax\MSI\TY25
- C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\TurboTax\TY25
4. Empty your Recycle Bin.
5. Restart your computer.
This will remove all files for that tax year so you can reinstall TurboTax Desktop and start fresh.”
My goal is to:
- Ensure that the appropriate forms/worksheets print as part of a full print packet.
- Ensure that they the appropriate form(s) and/or worksheet(s) are included with my tax filing so that the IRS has a record of my foreign tax credit carryovers for future years.
Could you please advise what steps I need to take in TurboTax to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Lynn
