Foreign Tax Credit: Form 1099-Div Box 7 greater than $600

artg — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:49:23 GMT

Good morning. My wife and I (MFJ) have a single (International) mutual fund that states Foreign Tax Paid in box #7 of the 1099-Div. Box #8 says "Various." This year (2019) the amount paid is greater than $600. We would like to take the Foreign Tax Credit. In past years the amount (in box #7) was less than $600. I'm looking for a step by step process that we'll need to follow to take the credit. I understand that we may have to file form 1116. Can anyone assist in this matter please?

Click on Deductions & Credits.
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid; click Show More.
Click Start (or Revisit) beside Foreign Taxes.
Follow the prompts through this section of the program to elect to take the credit.
