Foreign Tax credit - "Various" listed - how to enter now?

[jtax88]

I have a 1099-DIV which has Foreign Taxes paid, but they are listed as "Various" in Box 8. In past, I could just put "various" in the country section and that would be fine. But for the 2019 TT Premier version, there is no Various section and they want me to enter individual countries. I don't know the countries. How can I get this resolved?

Thanks!

see if there is other countries all the way at the end of the list and sat you sure there's no various its near the top of the dropdown list.

Various is still a choice in Premier, but it's listed around 4th or 5th the list (after a few abbreviations and numerical options.)

If this is for mutual funds or other similar types of investment products you can also select RIC which stands for "Registered Investment Company" which is appropriate for those types of investments.

FYI. if you are married or single you can take a maximum of $600 ($300 if married filing separate)  without having to file the 1116 which is a real pain to complete.  just enter the amount of the FTC (must be $600/$300 or less) and then list a country various, other, even Canada will work because no 1116 is produced.   make sure you don't link to an 1116.

To Hackitoff:

My foreign tax paid was over $600 as an individual, so I need to file form 1116.Thanks.

To SusanY1,

  Thanks! I will look for "various" lower in the pulldown menu.
