I own Canadian stock that I receive dividends from. I cannot select the "Foreign Country" Drop down on the 1099-DIV Worksheet when finalizing. It demands a Zip Code...

Canadian Zip Codes have letters, and "ON" (Ontario) is not valid for "State field either, as the form is assuming address is USA. I have not figured out how to adjust this information manually - Turbo Tax INSISTS it knows best, but clearly lacks this basic info. Cannot remember how I got it to work last year, but that "auto import" feature has never worked for my investments.

The IRS does not require a zip code. You can try entering a dummy or delete the 1099-DIV into and type it in yourself.

1. Type dividends in Search in the top right
2. Click Jump to dividends
3. Say YES to Did you receive any dividend income?
4. Continue on Get ready to be impressed 
5. On Let’s import your tax info, click Change how I enter my form
6. Click Add another 1099-DIV
7. On the screen Let's import your tax info, go to the bottom and select Change how I enter my form
8. On How do you want to add your 1099‑DIV? choose Type it in myself
9. On Let’s get the info from your 1099-DIV enter your dividends and capital gains if applicable
