Deductions & credits
@girigiri , generally when you enter the "foreign taxes paid " on form 1099-Div , box 7 , country in box 8 of your dummy 1099-Div, TurboTax would recognize the foreign taxes paid. The adjustment box/amounts are only for form 1116 and is used to adjust the foreign source income ( a requirement for form 1116 ) to harmonize with treaty requirements -- some treaties require say only 10% tax while US actually say charges 15% on the double taxed income -- so you adjust the source income to bring the tax down to as if the applicable tax was 10%. Very few times do you have to use these . I don't remember ( so have to refresh my memory ) if India puts up such conditions on the tax treaty.
Is there more I can do for you ?
Namaste ji
