Are you being asked about foreign tax credit from your 1099-DIV? You can look at box 7 and see if you paid foreign taxes. If so, you may need to file for a credit for tax paid to a foreign country. If it was through your brokerage, Regulated Investment Company, RIC, is the choice. See Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?
The form is only needed if your foreign tax is over $300 / $600MFJ. If your tax is over that, the program may want you to upgrade. If the upgrade fee isn't worth the credit, you can reduce your box 7 foreign tax paid.
