I received a 1099-DIV from Fidelity which shows 0.58 of foreign taxes paid. TT is asking me what portion of the 1009-DIV amount was from a foreign country. But I don't seem to have that number. There is a supplemental info section of the 1099-DIV. It shows the 0.58 of foreign taxes paid, but under "total foreign income", the number is 0. Does anyone know what that means? I called Fidelity and the only thing they could tell me was "ask your tax professional".
In previous years, when I have had foreign taxes shown on my 1099-DIV, the supplemental section does show an amount for total foreign taxes. So, I'm at a loss. If I enter 0 in TT for the portion from a foreign country, it looks like it uses the entire total dividends amount from the 1099-DIV to calculate my foreign tax credit. Which doesn't seem right.
Anyone know what I should do?
