did you have FTCs on the foreign-earned income? Then you must file form 1116 unless you forgo the FTC on this income or qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion. No FTC is allowed if you use the FEIE.
The only exception to filing the 1116 is when you only have 300/600 foreign taxes withheld on dividends, interest, and royalties. Why are you forgoing a possible additional tax credit of $1200 on the dividends?
in any case, if you only want just the 300/600 FTC on the dividends: 1) delete the 1116s (not possible if you are taking the FTC on the earned income). Also, make sure on the info worksheet that the box to force the 1116 is not checked
2) then on the 1099 for dividends enter only 300 or 600 do not link to a column on the 1116. Do not specify country or RIC. Do not specify the amount of the foreign dividend income.
