I have a 1099-DIV that has foreign income from more than 1 country. Turbotax only lets me select one country per 1099. Some are RIC and some are stocks from Canada.

This is for the Form 1116 Reporting of foreign taxes paid.

Since there are 2 countries, RIC and Canada, you will need 2 1099-DIV's, the actual and one fictitious.
Bring up a blank 1099-DIV. Name the payer " Canada". In box 1a insert the total ordinary dividends that came from Canada. In box 1b, insert all Canadian qualified dividends In box 7 insert the foreign tax paid to Canada.

 

Subtract these amounts from the actual 1099-DIV. Thus the actual 1099-DIV will represent only the RIC and the fictitious 1099-DIV will represent only Canada.

 

When you go to the foreign tax interview, both payers will be displayed and you can run both thru the interview.
