Just to clarify, my 1099 is from Vanguard, and box 1 (specifically box 1a) contains the total dividends from ALL of my investments. For instance, if I own shares of two different Vanguard funds, the dividends from both of those funds are included in box 1a. Each fund also has its own percentage. So I should be multiplying each of these percentages with box 1a?
Why isn't the percentage of a particular fund multiplied only by the dividends received from that fund?
Last year, Vanguard provided a 1099 that did calculate the foreign dividends for me. But this year, they did not do it for some reason.
