Now, as a programmer with more that 45 years experience I can see that this form is a little tricky to do, but not at all impossible in my expert opinion. After all, isn't this why I buy Turbo-tax Premier? In the past two days, I have watched several You tube videos covering form 1116 just so I would be able to tell if Turbo-tax was entering my data correctly. After that miserable experience, I find that Turbo-tax has this one country per 1099-DIV limitation. Why? Perhaps they should just continue this kind of thinking and impose a one dividend payer per 1099-DIV limitation. In that case I would have to enter literally hundreds of dummy 1099'... one per payer? Its really not any different. Its time the guy programming this area asked for some help so this mess can be straightened out. I volunteer. I think it would be easier to re-factor the software than have to juggle 9 dummy 1099 forms every year, from now on.
