Try the following steps to fix this issue:

 

  1. Go to Deductions & Credits
  2. Then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  3. And then Foreign Tax Credit
  4. Work through the screens to enter your foreign taxes paid directly on Form 1116.  You will be asked if you have already entered foreign taxes elsewhere, so make sure to say yes to that question.
  5. Once you've gone through the screens in this section, go back to Final Review and see if TT still asks you to "FIX".

Here's a link that gives more details on how to enter foreign taxes paid:
