    first the mutual fund show have provided detail so you could enter the foreign source income.  however, if they didn't and your total foreign taxes are less than $300 for all filing ststus's other than joint (the $600 for joint) just enter the gross dividends , use various for country, entr the FTC amount and don't link to an 1116.

    My foreign taxes were over $6oo.  Would this be causing the error?  None of my many mutual fund statements show any foreign source income.
