In this case, you'd simply select RIC = Regulated Investment Company Pass-Through Amounts.  This is an exception to the general requirement of reporting in gross income.

I tried that.  But Proseries  still gives an error for not entering a country.  Then I tried entering RIC and a country, just to see what Proseries would do.  It gives me an error for entering both.  I wonder if the error for not entering a company will prevent me from efiling?

You should just need RIC.  That would be used in placed of a country where the foreign tax withholding flows through from an RIC.
