Your year-end statement from your brokerage should include a breakdown of income earned from your various mutual funds or holdings.  Use that statement to determine what portion of your total dividends was attributed to the mutual fund that required foreign taxes to be paid.

Thank you for the information. I see the information in my consolidated report but my question is which number is reported.  Is the number reported the "total ordinary dividends", "dividend distribution"  or is it  the "qualified dividends".  The total ordinary dividend is the sum of the dividend distribution + qualified dividend.
