ProSeries is taking my foreign tax paid as both a credit and a deduction on Schedule A. Anybody know how to remedy this??

Sounds like you might have entered the credit in two different places.

No I've not - I used the Form 1116 data entry pages for all of the foreign taxes and foreign income info generated on a K-1.  23 different countries reported in columns A, B and C of 8 Form 1116 worksheets.

Doesn't the K-1 worksheet automatically transfer it one place or the other?  or did you skip it as a K-1 entry and just enter it manually?

[ladycpa1971]

thank you for replying!  I figured out the issue.  I entered the totals info from K-1 boxes 14 B, C and L.  I then had to use the Form 1116 entry due to the multitude of countries I had to report.  It was the entry on the K-1 box L that caused the error.  Thanks!

So you entered it in two different places.  Thank god for that not helpful button!
