Does ProConnect maintain separate limitation loss accounts as required by the instructions for Form 1116 line 16?

Adjustments can be manually entered for line 16, but Form 1116 instructions require maintaining separate limitation loss accounts and attaching a statement to Form 1116 showing the balance in each separate category.  The return from my client's previous tax preparer includes a statement that appears to have been generated by tax software, but I don't see any way to maintain or generate this statement in ProConnect.

No.  You will need to compute any SLL/OFL/ODL as well as recapture outside of PTO.  Manual adjustments will need to be made and the account you keep must also be attached manually.

I recall GoSystem RS does have limited capability to capture some of the details but it's not perfect either.

Thank you for confirming.  I also looked in Miscellaneous Forms in PTO for a loss accounts form and didn't find anything.  I can create a form with the required loss accounts information and attach it to the return, but if you happen to know of a source of fillable PDFs for this purpose, let me know - thanks!

We prepare our own. Not aware of any template out there.
