Thank you @KarenJ2 . I did exactly the same. I ended up modeling the US dividend income as Indian dividend income. Then Indian taxes deducted on it were handled naturally by TT.
@Nary I have been using TT for 10+ years to handle my US taxes with Indian income. There is a very strict order in which you need to enter your foreign income if you are using TurboTax web. I have never been able to make it work, so I use the TT download, where I have a lot more freedom to go back and forth and change entries.
What I end up doing is going thru the TT interview first, then going thru all the forms (esp the Form 1118's) and making corrections. Typically they are obvious, but one does need to understand how the IRS expects taxpayers to distribute income across different categories.
Another note - do not expect TT to flag all wrong entries as errors either. You really have to know what the different fields mean to spot errors.
