Yes, this did work for getting data populated on the worksheet as requested. It's still a little odd to me that there are so many other fields on the worksheet to enter data and these two are the only ones that are required to get past form error checking.
Now just a curiosity thing and doesn't affect me one bit, but it made my head hurt when TT was saying I had less than $20,000 in qualified foreign income when the only information that it had requested heretofore was how much total foreign income (% of Box 1a), which was in fact over $20,000. It was less than $20,000 qualified income (qual % of Box 1a), but it didn't know that. It may have been applying the ratio for the entire 1099-DIV, but that would be erroneous since the 1099-DIV was for many funds.
Anyway, thanks again!
