Our software pulled in a prior-year foreign tax credit carryover, but I do not see Schedule B attached. Is that a problem?
I am a U.S. citizen living in the UK, and this year's Form 1116 includes a carryover from a prior year where the passive basket was limited. The tax software reflected the amount on line 10, but when I reviewed the print package I did not see a full Schedule B for that category.
I know line 10 has a checkbox and I do not want to overreact if that is enough. But if entering a carryover on line 10 usually means Schedule B should be attached for the applicable category, I would rather fix the filing before submission than assume the software handled it correctly.
