Deductions & credits

an additional question.  In the past I seem to recall that even if one had over $300 of foreign taxes paid [$600 if married and filing a joint return] that it wasn't necessary to file form 1116.  Has this changed?  if it's necessary to file form 1116 and the mutual fund has not listed individual nations to which it paid income taxes, is there still a way one can use form 1116 by listing nations as "various" for instance?

 

thanks
