@johnsantaclara1 , first  from your two posts on the same subject, what I get is that  (a) you have a 1099-DIV or Broker's consolidated  report from Vanguard; (b) you have  dividends/LT capital gains of $YYYY for the year 2019; (c) you have foreign taxes paid  of $XXXX; (d) the amount of foreign taxes paid is higher than safe harbor amount -- $300 for single filer , $600 for MFJ thus requiring the use of form 1116  and now your question is which of these amount go where on form 1116

From what I find on web it seems that Vanguard in the past has reported  qualified dividend as  " total foreign dividend of "YYYY" and Qualified  foreign dividend as   Foreign dividend  multiplied by  a factor "0.FFFF"

 

Thus for US tax purposes  --- 1. you have total  foreign dividends of $YYYY;         2. You have foreign qualified  dividend  of $QQQQ ( equal to $YYYY  multiplied by 0.FFFF);    3.  for form 1116 your foreign taxes paid is $XXXX on total foreign income of $YYYY.

 

Thus this make sense ?  Do you need more help  ( please provide actual figures  )
