I am really surprised as how complicated it is go through the turbo tax interview to get the foreign tax credit for what should be a very plain vanilla situation that many of us our in.   we have mutual funds , they generate dividends, sometimes we paid foreign taxes which show up on our 1099composites. sometimes these foreign taxes add up to more than $300.

we simply want to get a credit for them. but the questions TT asks in this section are confusing.  and to try to understand the form 1116 and the worksheets?  forget about it!    I get errors at during the review and it asking me to enter values into the form 1116 worksheets. why not ask me the required questions in the interivew .sorry for the rant... but it really seems this part of TT can be greatly improved.
