I'm trying to report the amount of foreign dividend income and I cannot find that number or calculation anywhere.
This is the advice that TT suggests at this section:
"The amount of the foreign dividend received is not specifically listed on Form 1099-DIV. To determine the portion of Box 1a that is foreign dividends, look at the paperwork provided by the dividend payer. It should list a foreign amount or a foreign source percentage you can use to calculate the portion that is from a foreign country."
I have contacted my payer, which is Merrill Lynch, and they redirected me back to TT. Does anyone know how I can calculated this number?
