Foreign income got me stumped

I have a 1099-DIV that lists 15 countries as sources, and some RICs to boot. The form was imported from the brokerage and line 8 says "Various".

Is it possible to apportion the income to these 15 countries (and RIC) in EasyStep in TurboTax Premier? Or do I have to do some gymnastics in Forms? If the latter, then what is the procedure to do that?

@_Kris_ , while I cannot see your Broker's statement ( imported / printed/otherwise, there should be information telling you the percentage on income from "various" countries and from RIC.. It will also tell you percentage of taxes paid to each group. That should allow you to allocate the total foreign taxes paid to the two groups. If that is not possible then a call to your broker may provide more clarity on how to allocate.

And no, you should not need to use gymnastics ( mental or otherwise).
