Thanks for your assistance. Yet, I have a continuing issue. I filled in ordinary foreign dividends on line 1 C. There were no unqualified foreign dividends so I left line 1g blank . I then filled in the qualified foreign dividends on 1h . This filled in data was marked as erroneous with the explanation that I needed to supply a much larger amount to be consistent with the information supplied on Schedule B for dividends!
To make matters more confusing, I am unable to clear the data filled in on the lines which follow! It is my impression that I needed to supply my total amount of income (rather than just foreign income) to derive a ratio which would enable me to determine the amount of credit for foreign tax payments.
I have tried to go through the step-by-step interview for form 1116. Here the program lists only one of 2 brokerages which are the sources of my "VARIOUS" foreign income. It lists a mutual fund account which occupies a different column labeled RIT!
In past years, I have not experienced problems with this form, but now I am stymied.
