Foreign Qualified Dividends

anup1993 — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 14:56:30 GMT

I receive Qualified Dividends for stocks from India. When I enter the same dividend value in 1a and 1b of 1099-DIV, my refund reduces. However, when I enter $0 in line 1a and the Qualified Dividend amount in Line 1b my refund increases.

Why does the refund reduce and increase?

What is the correct way to enter these numbers?

Is this a TT software issue?

Thanks

@anup1993 , absent more details on your situation, may I refer you to page 9 of the instructions for form 1116 --- this explains why/how/ etc. of adjustments you may have to make to the foreign source income when Foreign Qualified dividend and/or capital gains are part of your foreign source income. See this --> 2025 Instructions for Form 1116

Is there more I can do for you ?
