Question

Is there a practical solution to the known TurboTax issue with selecting 1099-DIVs when determining the credit for foreign taxes on dividends paid to multiple countries?

When you enter the foreign income and foreign taxes by country, TurboTax shows your 1099-DIV forms as income sources. However, after selecting a 1099-DIV for the first country, it is excluded from the list for subsequent countries. This behavior prevents me from completing the TurboTax interview because foreign taxes on dividends paid the several countries are shown on the same 1099-DIV.

I use "various". otherwise each country's foreign dividend and FTC would need to be on a sparate 1099-DIV,

sometimes the 1099 you get doesn't even have a breakdown.
