My return was rejected with the following note:

/Return/ReturnData/IRS1116/ForeignTaxCreditSource/USTaxWithheldOnDividendAmt - Data in the return is missing or invalid.

We are just talking about foreign dividends from 2 US mutual funds off the same 1099 so I added the dividends and made a single entry identified as RIC and to the 2nd part, I don't have withholdings done specific to dividends?'

Any ideas on what is amiss?

    when you use RIC the completion of form 1116 is required

    Thanks, yes I did fill out form 1116.  My FTC exceeds $600.  Any other ideas?
