It depends. Usually there is not a section to enter foreign income in your 1099-DIV form itself. However, when 1099-DIV or other financial documents are sent, there are supplementary disclosure statements and the amounts of foreign income are reported in those statements. What the 1099-DIV does report is the amount of foreign tax paid and that is in Box 7 of the form. If you don't have these statements, you may need to contact the broker to obtain  the missing information.

 

To get to box 7 in the program, you need to select My form has information in more than just these boxes.

My Betterment Supplemental Tax Form States "The amount of foreign sourced income included in Box 1a of your 1099-DIV is " where do I enter this amount?

I know this is a little different question, but it does involve a 2021 supplemental tax reporting statement from Merrill. 

There were some 1099B transactions with a date of 01/25/22. The Turbo Tax program would not let me file my return - said all dates had to be by 12/31-21. So I changed the imported dates and filed. The Federal Govt. accepted my return, but there seems to be a problem with the  Turbo Tax program.

Thanks,

Bill

Those transactions dated 01/25/2022 should have been reported on a 2022 Schedule B and reported in your next year's tax return. Turbo Tax was correct when it said all dates had to be by 12/31-21. I would suggest amending your 2021 return to delete those entries from the return to correctly report your2021 transactions. Save the supplemental tax reporting statement to report the 01/25/2022 transactions in 2022. 

 

To amend your 2021 return

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. Scroll down to under Your tax returns & documents, 
  3. Select Amend (change) 2021 return
  4. Then Start amending my 2021 return
  5. Then, select the reason you’re amending and follow the onscreen instructions.
