Foreign taxes on 1099-DIV

[Janitor Bob]

Client has a 20-page 1099-DIV. Well the summary is one page, but the detail is 20 pages of dividend detail. The 1099-DIV includes a small amount ($33) of foreign taxes paid in box 6. The country is listed as various. How do I enter "various" on the 1099-DIV in ATX and how do I enter the date paid when it is dealing with multiple transactions with many different dates? On the ATX 1099-DIV, Box 7 seems to only want to accept a specific country and box 6b only seems to want a date format.

In the detail the foreign taxes are spread across multiple countries and dates...hoe do I enter in ATX?

Use "Other country" and enter 12/31/13 as the date. The $33 will show on pg 2 of the 1040 without producing the 1116. If it does, just delete the form and make sure the $33 FTC remains on the 1040.

Thanks! I was not looking for "Other Country"...I looked for "various" and "Multiple" but did not think to look for "other". I knew there had to be a way.

I've been leaving the country & date fields blank. I get a yellow warning but no e-file rejects.

As long as the foreign tax paid is less than $300, just enter it in the box and DONT enter date sole or any of that other stuff, and it will flow directly to the line on the 1040. New for this year; no fussing around needed.

I don't like yellow warnings....I get enough of those from my dogs when I get busy and forget to let them out.
