1099-DIV Foreign Tax Credit

I have foreign taxes paid on individual stocks and an RIC.  TurboTax only has a choice of one or the other.  How do I handle this?

    If your individual stocks are held by a broker that is an RIC (Registered Investment Company), you can just select RIC for all of the foreign income and tax.

     

    If you have separate 1099-DIV forms for the individual stocks, you can select the country of origin for each 1099-DIV.

     

    It may help to know the purpose of this question is make sure you are not taking a credit for taxes paid to a country that supports terrorism. So if you have your investments with a company like Fidelity, you can use RIC for the source even if your details shown France or Germany, for instance.
