Deductions & credits
Note my version may be different than yours so this may not work.
if you can get back to screen where dividend income entered then is there a box that says my form has info in more than just these boxes - if so check it otherwise ignore this thread
enter foreign tax in box 7 (note if your foreign tax is less than $600 joint return $300 for all other types the form is not required - to force it you would have to get back to your info worksheet and check the box for filing the 1116 even if not required)
now you may need to get the the deduction and credit section of the program and work your way to the foreign taxes section and click the link to update
and click the link to take the credit till you enter the page asking for country - enter it or use various and continue.
until page asking about income from foreign countries click on report income
the next page should have a listing of the 1099-div for which you entered foreign taxes - check the select box and then continue
the next page should ask about the amount of foreign source income enter it
from there i would choose the simplied AMT method and complete the pages
finally you'll come to a page asking about country of residence and date foreign taxes paid - just use the year end date 12/31/202x and check the paid box
you should be done and the link to the 1116 should be automatic.
