In an earlier post I mentioned that the IRS rejected my amended 2007 return (amended to carry back 2008 foreign tax to 2007) for the 2nd time, demanding material they already had several copies of.
I just noticed that they also asked for a correctly filled out amended 1116. I checked and found that my accountant put the sum of the original figure and the
2008 carryback on line 8, instead of putting the original on line 8 and the carryback on line 10. The method the IRS demanded seems to be both correct and clearer.Is there any justification for my accountant's method, or is he just wrong?
