I know this question is from last year, but you can avoid needing to edit the worksheet directly and to prompt turbo tax to ask you for the qualified dividends. You need to choose "No" on the "No Other Income or Expenses" page, even if your foreign income is just from 1099-dividends. This will ask for a bunch of other information that you can leave blank, but will eventually ask for any qualified dividends or capital gains. Providing the qualified dividends related to my foreign tax credit there fixed the smart check error. I am using the online version and I had to do this last year and this year. So while better than editing the form manually, turbo tax is still really unintuitive about this problem.
