Deductions & credits
1. Assuming that you have brokers' consolidated report, in the back pages you should find (a) total foreign taxes paid; (b) the mutual fund which had foreign income; (c) for the fund that invested in foreign entities, the percentage invested in foreign funds. Once you have that , you them multiply the total dividend earnings from that fund by the percentage foreign investment -- that is your foreign dividend income. Also it is extremely rare for the foreign dividend earnings to be qualified ( and if that is true then there is treaty conditions to be considered ) -- generally they are ordinary dividends --NOT Qualified.
2. If you have only a 1099-DIV and no backup information, then you have to get these details form your broker -- call him/her for help
Is there more I can do for you ?
