thank you for your response.
I do not get a screen that says "Tell us about your Foreign Taxes", I do not get a first box to check.
first screen: Title: Foreign Tax Credit.
Body:
| Since you earned money in another country, this credit could reduce your taxes here in the states. |
|
|
You told us you paid foreign taxes on a 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-OID, or K-1. Now we'll see if you qualify for the foreign tax credit. |
|
next screen: Title: Foreign Taxes
Body:
You need to complete Form 1116 if you want to claim the foreign tax credit.
A separate Form 1116 must be used for each category of foreign income for which you paid taxes.
Must you take the foreign tax credit? Not necessarily. We'll give you another option next.
next screen: Title: Do you want the deduction or Credit?
Body:
You can claim your foreign taxes as an itemized deduction, or you can take a credit for foreign taxes paid. We can help you decide which option is better for your situation.
choose Take a Credit
next Screen: Title: Reporting Foreign Taxes Paid
Body:
| We'll begin with foreign taxes paid on income reported on Form 1099-INT (interest), 1099-DIV (dividends), 1099-OID (original issue discount), or Schedule K-1 (partnerships, S corporations, estates and trusts). If you paid foreign taxes on multiple sources of foreign income, please see these special instructions. |
|
Next Screen: Title : Where did you receive Dividend Income From?
Body:
| Select all countries to which you paid foreign tax on dividends reported on Form 1099-DIV. Learn More |
| |
| | Note: | Select RIC for any income received from a mutual fund or other Regulated Investment Company. | | | | |

This is nt the sequence that you describe. If I enter Canada here, it wants to associate the country with 1099-Div, Int, OID or K-1 - It does not give me an opportunity to enter the foreign taxes paid.
Thank you for the help.
