Foreign Taxs from investment accounts

[LeeL1]

I have Foreign Taxes paid on my 1099-DIV from a brokerage account.  Turbo Tax is asking "You entered $xxx.xx of foreign taxes paid.  Now enter the portion of the Now enter the portion of the $xxxx.xx dividends and distributions that was from a foreign country or U.S. possession"? 

The "$xxxx.xx dividends" does not match any numbers i can find on my 1099-DIV .... what does that number come from?

It should be the total of all the Dividends you entered. Did you look at the total or are you only looking at each one?

TY for the reply ... it does not equal any of the box of the 1099-DIV for (1a, 1b, etc) or any combination i can figure out.  The foreign tax amount (from box 7) is the correct value however.
