@JERRY-CH ,agreeing with the excellent reply/instructions by @npierson7 , would just want to touch on the dividend portion of your question. Follow the same steps for dividends except i that in case of foreign dividends of foreign shares ( that you invested in through non-US brokers), there will usually be no qualified dividends for US tax purposes -- so you enter the total dividends only and zero for qualified dividends -- but make sure from your broker ( US brokers will tell if there are any qualified dividends in the distribution). If you paid any foreign taxes on these incomes ( interest and /or dividends) then enter the taxes while reporting the dividends -- there is box for that ( TurboTax will ask for this ). Then choose the simplified method to deal with this -- this will result in dollar for dollar foreign tax credit up to $300 for a single filer and $600 for a joint filer ( Safe Harbor amount).
By the way I am assuming here that you are US citizen/Resident. Are you living abroad?
