RICs are only for certain types of situations (such as mutual funds that routinely invest in many countries). This has the same problem as using "various". The forms, and thus I assume the underlying tax law, want it done (for individual stocks) by country to limit the deduction in proportion to the income from that country versus total income. So while tricks such as RIC or "various" may satisfy the program you could be filing a fraudulent tax return.
The program should be flexible enough to allow for taxes paid to the same country to appear on multiple accounts, and understand that a single brokerage account can involve multiple countries (i.e. own multiple foreign stocks). It seems to be programmed with the simplistic idea that neither of these will be true. I suspect I'll be back to mailing paper returns in the future since there is no indication Intuit (or any competitor) sees this as important enough to correct.
