i have 3 brokerage accounts where i have received foreign dividends with tax withheld.  TT asks me to list the countries which i did.  Then  TT asks for the foreign tax withheld BY BROKERAGE ACCOUNT.  However, after fill in the first brokerage it does not let me insert for the same country a different brokerage account.    i believe that it is important to list by country not by brokerage account.   What should i do if TT does not let me enter totals by country?

    You can total the tax for all the brokerages of the same country and enter as one entry.

    I understand that this is not a solution but only  a way to get around the bug in the software.  Why ask me to list answer by brokerage account and then not permit me to have more than one named brokerage accounts?  i lost time posting to the group to find out how to enter my information.   Why not corrrect the software?   it would be as easy as, "if you have more than one brokerage account use VARIOUS and do not enter by brokerage account"
