I have 1099-Div for US ETF containing Foreign tax pad
Additionally I have India Dividends and Interest for which there is no 1099-DIV or 1099-INT, (something like in instructions that qualified statement not available). I am creating dummy 1099-DIV and I1099-INT . Does that mean its a must to file the form 1116 as there is no statement?
Since the Foreign tax paid is around $575 can I ignore the form and take the default $600 for married filing jointly to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
I have around $625 of derived and converted to USD , the total FT paid but want to avoid form and claim only $575 and avoid the carry over Schedule B form.
