1. Do you need the 1116 or can you elect out of it?

2. If you do need the 1116 you need to attach the 1116 Schedule B as a pdf to the efiled return.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Don't need the 1116.  Maybe I am missing where I check to opt out of it?

In thew Foreign Tax Credti (1116) screen look up a bit and to the right for Gen. Info/Elections and click that Press O twice to get Other Country and then put a 1 in the next box.
