FTC carryover ??

[artp]

For 2023 client had $227 FTC but was not needed as tax was computed using Capital gains rate which was zero. Regular tax per tax table was $1800. Drake did not show any carryover of FTC. This does appear to be correct. Am I wrong on this

If you choose to use Form 1116, you can carryover. If you use either of the other two FTC methods, there's no carryover.

Thanks Lion I did not realize that!

That's from memory. Check on it if it's a big enough number!!

Lion is correct.  If no 1116 is filed, then there is no carryback or carryforward.
