TurboTax just continues to fail getting Foreign Tax right year after year. This is not hard to fix!

1. The user interface for entering Foreign Tax makes absolutely no sense, especially when multiple countries/ multiple categories are involved.  TurboTax provides a full page of instructions on how to enter them correctly so the program can enter them into the forms in the right order. Instead, it should provide a sensible user interface (such as a straightforward list on a single "page") and automate any sorting required to make the forms come out the way that's required.  (Computer sorting algorithms have been well known for well over half a century.)  

 

2.  On the same topic of Foreign Tax, TurboTax asks the user if s/he wants to take it as an income deduction or as a tax credit.  Instead, why can't TurboTax calculate both scenarios and pick the one that's comes out best for the user?  (Isn't that why we use computer automation in the first place?)
