Deductions & credits

Here's what you do

First things, first

Enter the dividend income under Wages and Income like this,

 

 

then hit enter, enter till you get to the screen Report Foreign dividends, put 10,000 like this

and then the next screen will ask you where the dividends are from, enter Other Countries like this

then type in "foreign tax credit" in the magnifying glass in the upper right hand size

When you get to this screen, enter one country

 

 

 

 

 

then next income from foreign sources

click on Report Income, then this screen check off the box

then when you get to this screen, apportion the amount allocated to the specific country. In this case, I selected Afghanistan as an example   I used 33% from the total 10,000 of dividend income originally reported on the 1099DIV

Then hit enter, enter till you get to the screen  Reporting Taxes Paid, do you want to review your entries, hit no

first year eligible, hit yes

then elect simplified calculation, hit yes

And then on the screen No other Income or Expenses, hit no

And then completing forms 1116, hit Continue, continue, continue till you get to this screen

 

 

I hope this works out for you. Let us know either way.  Thank you.
