Can you enter foreign tax paid without using Form 1116?

If your client is eligible for the election not to do so.  You can find the conditions clearly laid out in the instructions for F.1116.

If eligible, you can type it in on Line 48 of the 1040 worksheet (which will move it to Line 48 of Sch 3)

Yes.

You two are way too long winded today 🙂

I'm not sure how I should read your one word response that could be open to interpretation.  It took me a while to understand what you meant but I think I got it now.  :joy:
