Trying to update 1099-Div for with foreign country name

[GeoffreyG]

BE stands for "Belgium."  Some of the well-known international companies that trade on the Belgium stock exchange, and which could be the source of your foreign dividends on Form 1099-DIV, include AB InBev (owner of Budweiser, Miller, and many other beer brands), and ING Group (international bank and insurer).

A complete list of other foreign countries, and their international codes (as used and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service) can be found at the following IRS.gov chart:
