@Spino I am not sure I fully understand your situation. What I get is that (a) you a US person ( citizen/Resident/Resident for tax purposes); (b) tax home is USA; (c) have invested through US broker in stocks/ bonds; (d) have dividends and stock sales which may have attracted foreign taxes to the tune of US$ 900; (e) want to take credit for taxes paid to foreign tax administration. Please correct me if I have misunderstood / misconstrued the situation.
Generally, what you are trying to do is ameliorate the effects of double taxation since USA taxes you on world income and the foreign tax admin may also tax the same income component as in-country sourced income. The Tax treaty between US and that country will often address the specific modalities of reducing the burden of double taxation and thus the income source country becomes germane.
Foreign Dividends ( generally non-qualified) are in a different category ( Passive) than the foreign Capital Gain/loss and may also require adjustments because of treaty considerations.
Thus really need more info on the exact situation ( facts and circumstances ) that you are referring to.
Note that for foreign tax on dividends there is the safe harbor treatment available. Also for capital gain/loss , especially in real-estate there may be differences in how the gain/loss is computed.
May I suggest a reading of the instructions for form 1116. If you need more help, please consider describing the situation in more detail ( with fictitious / approximate dollar figures ).
Await your answer
