You have 2 1099’s and 4 countries. TT can support only one country per 1099-DIV. You will need 4 1099’s, 2 actual and 2 fictitious. Select one of the actual 1099’s and dedicate it to one country. In box 7 insert only the tax paid to that country. Do the same for the 2nd country.
Bring up a blank 1099-DIV. For convenience, name the payer the same as the country it represents. Insert the amount of the ordinary dividends in box 1a, the qualified dividends in box 1b and the tax in box 7. Subtract these amounts from the actual 1099-DIV. Do the same for the remaining country.
When done you have 4 1099’s; each one representing one country. When you go the interview, you will insert all 4 countries from a dropdown box; then TT will ask you to select one at a time to insert the foreign ordinary dividends; then circle back to the next country etc.
The issue of the largest tax paid being used on copy1 does not apply here as you are only using passive category of income. Copy 1 will have parts 1 thru 4 filled out and copy 2 will only have part 1 and 2 filled.
