If you are getting stuck in the foreign dividends section, try entering foreign dividends and claim the foreign tax credit in TurboTax Online using these steps:

1. Go to the Wages & Income section and select Dividends on 1099-DIV.
2. Enter your foreign dividend amounts from your tax documents.
3. Next, navigate to the Deductions & Credits section and find Foreign Tax Credit under Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
4. Select Start or Update next to Foreign Taxes.
5. On the screen asking if you want to take a credit or deduction, choose Take a Credit.
6. Enter the foreign taxes you paid along with the country information.
7. Complete the following questions about your foreign income and expenses.
8. TurboTax will help calculate whether the credit is better than a deduction.
