Vanguard Didn't give me a 1099, how do I calculate foreign tax paid, foreign income, and Interest on U.S. obligations?

I have a small investment in Vanguard in the VANGUARD TOTAL BOND MARKET ETF, VANGUARD TOTAL INTL BOND INDEX ETF,  and the VANGUARD TOTAL INTL STOCK INDEX FUND ETF. They did not give me a 1099 due to how low my investment is. So I've been researching it to make it myself. I need some help figuring this out

 

For the bond market, I assumed that I need to calculate interest on U.S. obligations and used the amount of distribution by credit value to get the interest on this which looks like is 63.4%. https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/BND

Would this be a correct way to interpret this bond market etf?

 

Second, I have those 2 international index ETFs. I found a way to compute the foreign tax paid and foreign income with this table vanguard gives: http://www.vanguard.com/pdf/RTFTCWS_022021.pdf  

This gives  a higher foreign income than the actual interest though, am I doing it the wrong way in this?

1099 must be issued if div paid by any fund $10 or more

Even if you don't receive a 1099-DIV, you can find the tax-reporting information you need online, anytime.
