Several folks have 1099-B with foreign taxes paid and there is a list of countries to whom the foreign tax has been paid. How do you add multiple countries for one 1099-DIV amount? Additionally, the 1099s do not always state whether paid or accrued and do not have the date that its paid or accrued - these are all field within Proseries. Any suggestions on how to find this information if it is critical?

1099s are cash basis so the tax is paid, not accrued. Use various for date paid, if allowed, or 12/31/25.

Personally I don't enter all the different countries unless we're talking >200 or so per country. CAGMC.

Does the software give Various as a choice? Or RIC if that's what you have? (I don't use ProSeries.)

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thank you - that is precisely what I wanted to know... I wondered how accurate we needed to be when it comes to allocating to a country. This return has small amounts paid to multiple countries - still haven't figured out how to show amounts by country but I'll save that for another day. Yes, RIC is a choice.

Thank you for the perspective!

I just use Various as the country and lump them all together.

And you don't need the 1116 if they are under the $300 / $600 allowances. I've had returns where the amount is $800 but that reduces the credit below $600 so I just use that limit instead.
