Hi pcmoan, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem. It seems like people are giving you contradictory answers here. As you point out, you have to enter foreign taxes in box 7 on the 1099-DIV if you want TurboTax to acknowledge a reduction in your tax bill. But then you have not entered the 1099-DIV faithfully to the numbers that appear in its boxes.
What did you do? Any advice from you or others familiar with Form 1116 and common expat situations?
