I thought I understood this but I am having issues:
1. My Merrill 1099 DIV has income from United States and 7 foreign countries. Australia has no tax, and 6 other countries have foreign Tax. In following the instructions, I changed the entries on the original 1099DIV to include the income from USA, Australia, and Germany. Germany Foreign Tax in Box 7. In the interview for foreign tax it asks about foreign income. Australia is foreign but no foreign tax - do I need a separate 1099 DIV? and Germany has Foreign income and tax - should it be a separate 1099 DIV? Germany foreign income is included in the total. So My top level 1099 DIV has only one foreign source foreign tax (Germany), but lots more income that was not foreign taxed (income includes all USA, Australia, Germany).
following this I have separate dummy 1099 DIV with the country income and tax - each dummy 1099 DIV is specific to the country - both income and tax.
2. I can't get to all my 1099 DIV in the interview section for Foreign Tax.
Thank You
