Tax rate of Foreign Capital Gain

Hi,

 

I sold a few mutual fonds in2021  that I'm holding in a European country. 

I didn't receive 1099-B from the foreign bank, so I manually typed in

all the relevant information, such as sales proceeds, cost base, etc.

I chose 'Long term (Box F)' in the Holding period since I hold them longer

than a year. But I found out that TurboTax calculated the capital gain as

short-term gain (I'm paying close to 30% in tax). But when I tried to choose

'Short term (Box C)', I'm paying more than 40% in tax. Can someone explain

to me what's going on here?

Is it possible for me to pay long term gain on mutual funds placed in a

foreign country?
