For a taxpayer resident abroad, we are attempting to e-file a return but it is being rejected with the following error: F1116-013.  The error detail reads: “If for any country in form 1116, Line 3b ‘OtherDeductionsNot RelatedAmt’ has a non-zero value, the [OtherDeductionsNotRelatedStatement] must be attached to Line 3b.”

There is an Early Withdrawal Penalty in the Interest Income Worksheet which flows to the Forms 1116, line 3B.  There is also an amount on line 3A.  Although line the Form 1116 (not the Worksheet) says “attach statement” there does not appear to be anywhere to create a statement for line 3b.  The Line 3 “Other Deduction Statement” only produces for Line 3A. Attaching a pdf statement does not resolve the issue.

Has anyone come across this issue and a way to resolve it?
