The worksheets might work - the suggestion of creating dummy 1099s was ridiculous!  I did this - turbotax wouldn't let me take the foreign tax credit because I had "excess taxes" - I assume it was because there was no income on the 1099s - to fix that I had to add in the dividends associated with the tax on each dummy record - and remove it from the primary record.  THEN turbo tax errored out because the qualified dividends on the primary account were higher than the total dividends.  So, I had to figure out the qualified for each country.

 

Turbo tax put in soooo much effort to check for errors (when I can import directly from my broker with no errors) but can't bother to fix this so I can attribute more than one country to a 1099?  This is a simple fix - come on turbo tax!!
