Help on US Tax Form 8825 (Edoardo Tirtarahardja)

[Edoardo Tirtarahardja]

Hi Alex,

I don't have any idea what is the TXF code for those lines. I've googled
and the TurboTax is no longer posting the TXF specification. I can't find
any in the internet.

Surely some one knows how to get the latest TXF spec.
