Form 1116 HTKO - how do we enter HTKO data without having to resort to overrides on Line 6 in the Form 1116 Passive and General Category HTKO columns?

[Rob-W]

Colleagues,

On Form 1116, Passive Category, how do we enter HTKO data without having to resort to an override on line 6 in the HTKO column?  The line 6 amount in the HTKO column should equal the negative of the sum of the amounts on line 6 for the other columns.

ProSeries does not enter the correct negative amount on line 6 in the HTKO column on the Passive Category Form 1116, so we have to override it in order to force the line 6 amount in the Total column to be zero.

Then on the General Category Form 1116, we also have to override the line 6 amount in the HTKO column to equal the amount on the Passive Category HTKO column line 6, except that that amount is a positive number on line 6 of the General Category Form 1116.

We've overridden the HTKO column line 6 amounts for years, hoping that one day ProSeries would fix this issue.  Maybe they have, and, if so, can you point us to the fix?

Kind regards, Rob in Austin
