Vanguard Foreign Qualified Dividends and l.t capital gains

JulieKgan — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:55:24 GMT

One of my Vanguard funds (out of 5) has Foreign income and I see the following in my Tax form :

FOREIGN SOURCE INCOME PERCENTAGES
Fgn Source Inc Tot 90.34% Fgn Source Inc Qual 64.50%

TurboTax asks me to enter "Foreign Qualified Dividends and l.t capital gains"

Should I just enter the (Total Dividends & distributions) of that 1 fund and multiply it by 64.50% or what should I enter for that?

Thank you!

Yes. You would multiply the Total Dividends and Distributions for that fund by 0.64, and enter that as the amount of Qualified Foreign Dividends.

During the foreign tax credit interview, it initially asked for the foreign-source income.

That is the amount in the 1099-DIV box 1a x 0.9034.

Next it asked for the foreign sourced qualified dividends and lt. cap. gains.

That is the amount in the 1099-DIV box 1a x 0.645.

The lt. cap gains portion is the amount in the 1099-DIV box 2a. Since the foreign amount cannot be determined, it can be ignored.

Thanks rogge1722. But if I have more than 1 Vanguard funds, and only one of them has foreign income, shouldn't I only multiply the Total dividends + distributions only of that fund not with the amount in box 1a because box 1a would include total dividends + distributions for all funds? Thank you.

If Vanguard issued an equivalent box 1a for the one fund with foreign income, that would be used instead of box 1a which serves all funds.
