I am using Turbo Tax Desktop in the step by step mode.  I am in the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid portion  Deductions and Credits section and I am showing a Foreign Taxes credit of $8. I cannot get it to go away. I did not make any foreign income or pay any foreign taxes so I am not sure why this credit is showing up. I went back through all the income steps and don't see anything that might have triggered the credit. How can I get this cleared out? Thanks

    Did you ever get this sorted? I'm having the same issue.

    It depends. Check to see if you have any 1099 INT with an amount in Box 6 or 1099 DIV with an amount listed in Box 7.  It may also show up on a K-1. Check all your entries. If you see it in any of these forms, you may remove it.
