Deductions & credits

Since you have only one country (RIC), you can combine all income and taxes paid to one 1099-DIV. and go thru the interview only once using a single 1099-DIV.

 

On a separate sheet of paper, list and add up all the foreign ordinary income and also all the foreign qualified income. Then add up the total foreign tax paid.

 

Pick one of the 1099's. In box 7 insert the total foreign tax for all the RIC's. Delete box 7 in the other 1099-DIV.

 

Then go thru the foreign tax credit interview and it will initally ask for the foreign source dividends. Insert the total ordinary dividends for all RIC's. Later it may ask for the foreign source qualified dividends. If it does, enter the total amount for all RIC's. TT will already have the total foreign tax paid for all RIC's from box 7.
