I'm having the exact same problem. I pay foreign taxes every year and this is the first time I've had an issue. I have the box checked and foreign tax paid filled out in box 7 from my 1099DIV. When I go to take the credit under "deductions & credits" it tells me I haven't entered any foreign tax payments and I need to go back to wages & income to enter them. I go back, and it's all there. Not sure where to go from here.
