Following your instructions worked to enable me to add the tax paid to 2 countries from my Merrill Lynch 1099-DIV. However, when TT checked my tax return it found that Form 1099-DIV line 1b (Qualified Dividends) was now larger than line 1a. I made line 1b match line 1a to clear the error. My question is when the IRS matches my downloaded 1099-DiV to the values I changed in lines 1a and 1 b, will that cause a problem that the IRS us going to question me about?
