@mark227 , so you are saying your case is as follows: (a) you a US person ( citizen / GreenCard ) lived and worked in a foreign country ( e.g. Germany ); (b) you had active income in that country and was able to exclude income under Foreign Earned Income exclusion; (c) you had US investment income generating passive income ( Dividends ) that was/ is being taxed by both the USA and the foreign taxing authroty because you were/is resident during the year 2022. Thus you now have a situation wherein the 1099-div issued by your US broker shows no foreign taxes paid and yet your foreign resident country has indeed taxed this passive income.
If this is your situation ( and please explain your situation such as when did you establish and relinquish foreign tax home, your citizenship / greencard status; which country are we talking about etc. etc., ) then generally the only way around this is to use form 1116 and essentially resource your applicable US sourced passive income to foreign income for purposes of form 1116.
Please answer my questions and I will circle back on this.
