You will need to manually make adjustments in the foreign tax screens to get where you need to be first check "none of these apply" on the screen Tell Us About Your Foreign Taxes
Continue through the "No Other Income or Expenses" screen and select NO.
On the Screen Choose the Income Type choose Passive Income.
On the next screen select "Add a Country" if necessary (Germany may already be showing in which case, just click Done (or Continue) here.)
If all of the income is already entered from 1099s, leave the Other Gross Income - Germany screen blank.
Continue through the to the Foreign Taxes Paid - Germany section and enter the taxes not already accounted for in the section Foreign Taxes on Other Income.
Let me illustrate with an image. When I get to this screen, it lists only SOME of my 1099s. Specifically, it lists only those which had "foreign taxes paid" marked in the official 1099 form. However, this is just a subset of the 1099s I received.
I need to be able to add ALL 1099s to be associated with Germany.
Yes, only the 1099-Div's with Foreign Tax on them will transfer over to the Foreign Tax Credit section. You will need to enter the amount of Foreign Income associated with these.
Then continue in the FTC section until you come to a screen where you can indicate you have more Foreign Income to report and choose 'Passive Income'. Add up the the total amount of Foreign Income you were taxed on by Germany on your 1099-Div's (other than what you already entered), and enter that amount.
Continue, and enter the total amount of Foreign Tax paid on this income.
