Despite adding 5 countries (5 1099-DIV forms & their 1116's), regardless of which 1116 form all Line 8’s are blank & 1040 Worksheet line 48.

This is just 5 company stock dividends from 5 countries.  Where does the total of all 5 come together?

I have tried both ways trying to get my foreign taxes to either an itemized deduction or a direct tax credit (1116).  Neither gives me credits.  In 1 place I see a total that is only 2 out of the 5 countries in a number but that $ amt doesn’t make it to line 8.

On the Info Wkst, Part 6, Foreign Taxes box.  I’ve ck’d & unck’d the box & no change?

Tax & Int Wsht Li 4 is blank

In 1 of these responses it suggested entering the highest paid taxes 1st , so I deleted everything & started over.  It didn’t make any difference.

 

Should I give up & enter it on 1040 line 6, if it will let me override it?
