form 1116 comp wks wants me to have non-zero data in Part 1, i & j for 25% and 28& gains. If I zero out, I get an error.

I was previously given instructions on how to create multiple form 1116's for multiple countries, and as part of those instructions was told:

"Due to recent changes, false errors may appear on the f1116 wks. in part 1, lines 1h, 1i, and 1j. Override them with zeroes to clear the error. "

If I override with zeros, I still receive errors.  Also, if I enter zeros in line h (qual. dividends and LT capital gains), I also get an error stating that the entry must be at least equal to my amount in line c.

TT wants to populate the same amount, my dividend amount for that country, on the following lines:

c - interest and dividends from schedule B

f - unadjusted gross income this category

h - qual. dividends and LT capital gains

i - section 1250 (25%) capital gains

j - collectibles (28%) capital gains

So which entries should I zero out?  And then do I just ignore the error messages in the smart check?

Thanks for your help!

Try this: Verify that 1m = 1f. If that is the case, then so far no adverse effect has occurred. Now insert the asked for amount into 1i and 1j and insert the total into 1h. As long as 1h is not greater than $20,000, there is no adverse effect. In short 1h= 1i +1j. As long as 1m=1f, no harm has been done.

If that doesn't help, then replace the zero in box 1a of the fictitious payers with $1.00.
