foreign dividends are entered on form 1099-div (there is no separate form for foreign dividemnds) along with the section for foreign taxes. 

there is an election you might use if foreign taxes from investment income  (dividends, interest) is less than $600  married filing joint or $300 in all other cases.  You can elect out of filing form 1116 in that case there is no need to link the foreign tax section of the 1099 div to an 1116
