I see what you're saying.  Someone is getting errors even with a date entered.  I have not experienced that yet, entering a date has fixed all my rejects so far. I noticed that Proseries is "forcing" us to check either the paid or accrued box, although I file plenty of 1116's where there is no current year foreign tax to report (various reasons apply) and I don't see why one should have to check a box when the rest of that part of the form is empty.  Probably if I check a box then I'll have to enter an (irrelevant) date too...
