guya, I don't understand how this particular line could involve "taking a position."
I would think IRA deductions are typically included on this line, or they are not. It seems like a black and white thing.
In fact, I'm trying to avoid doing ANYTHING that requires taking a position, and simply want to do what the IRS expects.
If they see an IRA deduction on Form 1040, Line 32, do they expect to see it on Form 1116, Line 3b?
It doesn't make a huge difference in my refund, so I have no interest in going against the norm--I JUST WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
