Yardley CPA Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 If you are unsure of the country or possession the foreign tax is paid to, what do you enter from the drop down option? There used to be an "others" option, that no longer exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 It's called Various now. Although, on K1 inputs it was still called other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 And if it won't take "Various" take a good guess from the name of the fund or stock. For anything "Emerging Markets" Brazil or Thailand is a good guess. For a "Pacific Rim" fund Japan or Korea. Extrapolate from these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to use various for all 1099-DIV and other for all K1s because it makes it easier to tie the 1116 totals to the DIV detail screen and the K1 detail screen. So I never enter the actual country. And it's faster to do it this way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 I do that when I can but I've run into a couple of weird cases where I had to put something other than "various" or I got error messages that prevented efile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
