Does anyone have a work around for certain forms impacting farmers that aren't available until after the farmer due date? I have foreign tax credit for one of my farmers and that form isn't available until March 3rd.

If the 1116 is only due to dividends, My experience this year has been that the return will file and be accepted anyway, if you meet the requirements for claiming the credit without 1116.

Even though it show's when you do the review, and it pops an error message at that point, the return transmitted and was accepted. I don't believe that I even had to turn off conversion error checking.

I have thousands of dollars in carryforward and current year FTC items. If over 300, the form is required. If under 300, the error message doesn't even appear. Not sure your situation, but the form for me is required and prints "do not file" on it. I don't think the IRS would accept this, if Intuit would even allow me to e-file it like that.

Is the foreign tax credit getting used on the 2021 return?

If it's not, then print off the credit carryforward info, delete the form 1116 and any related info to get rid of the error message, then file the return. Then next year enter the credit carryforward info when you do the 2022 return.

Probably not the technically correct answer, but I've come to realize that compliance (getting returns filed) is more important than perfection (everything is technically correct).
