Deductions & credits

I have foreign tax paid on my 1099-div.  I see a number of people with the same issue, and it seems like the advice is to manually enter the 1099-div instead of importing it.  That sounds like a Turbo Tax problem to me, so why isn't it getting fixed?  For me it turns out the foreign tax paid is from 4 countries, and it is a small amount (about 400).  So I say I want to take the credit and get asked the countries.  It is a rather strange form I think ,but I enter the countries.  And it shows all four.  But then it goes through a bunch of forms where it only picks the first country and asks for a lot of things I don't know and which are not on the 1099-div.  Again, sounds broken in Turbo Tax to me.  So I am getting no where.  Anyone have a better answer than entering the 1099-div manually?
