on my first pass, for those reported on 1099-Div I did not enter them in the 1116 interview section, as instructed. however, they didn't show up on the Form 1116. I did have other non 1099-Div entries that were correct showing on Form 1116 though.
To fix it (although I can't tell you why it worked), I went back to the 1099-div interview questions, deleted my answers for Div 1099 forms that had foreign taxes and then re entered them fresh in the 1099-div interview.
Those that were reported on a 1099-Div then DID show up on the form 1116 then.
I found it helpful to open the form 1116 and look at the entries there when verifying that the system was putting things in the right place. good luck!
