@TommyMo , here is the rub ---- if you let TurboTax recognize ( enter ) the full $941.24 as your foreign taxes paid, it would not even ask you if you want the simplified method and/or the safe harbor treatment. You will need to change that entry on the worksheet/entry area for the 1099-DIV to $600 --- then it will ask if you want the simplified treatment and therefore allow the recognition of the $600 as foreign tax credit against US taxes.
If the amount remains where it is downloaded ( US$941.24 ) , TurboTax will only ask if you want foreign tax credit or deduction ( for an itemized deduction on schedule-A ).
Does this help your situation or do you need more help ?
