Foreign taxes paid interview question on foreign source qual dividends and LTCG
In the Deductions/Foreign Taxes section of the interview, there is a page that asks "Any foreign source qualified dividends or long term capital gains?". Then it wants you to enter the number for "foreign qualified dividends and l.t. capital gains". Question 1: Does the term "foreign qualified" apply only to "qualified dividends" or does "foreign qualified" also apply to the second half of the statement which is "l.t. capital gains". In other words, should I include 100% of the LTCG on box 2 a of 1099-DIV or only the % that applies to FOREIGN LTCG?
Question 2: My mutual fund company provided a % for foreign source income but did not provide a separate % for foreign LTCG so I would not know how to calculate foreign LTCG if in fact I need to report only FOREIGN LTCG. Any advice is appreciated.
