On Form 1116, how can I get TT to put passive income on copy#1 and general income on copy#2? Or can I just check the one category that fits with the majority of income?

[KP5]

Form 1116 will only let you check one category (passive or general income)

For passive category, do you have any 1099's or K-1's?

[KP5]

Yes the passive category income comes from a mutual fund and reported on a 1099. Income is from working in Canada and reported on a T4.

You will go thru the f1116 interview twice. When you enter the 1st time, by default TT will run thru the screens for the 1099-div. Work thru the screens until finished. TT will generate COPY 1 , passive category. Then re-visit the interview the 2nd time. It will ask if you want to review the 1099-div entries.Reply No and continue until you get to a screen to select the category type. Select general category and input the applicable info on  the screens until finished. TT will create COPY 2 general category.
