Question

How do I get back to the foreign source income section of the Interview portion of TurboTax?

Although I don't think the foreign source income on my 1099-DIV is reportable (< $300), I would still like to get back to the question I originally answered to make a change, but I cannot find it anywhere. I have searched both the interview section and forms with no luck. Does anyone know how I can access? Is the information entered just gone if Form 1116 is not required? Thank you.

Yes, here is how to get back to that section you were working on.

Go to federal
income or wages and income
Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) or investment income if working in Turbo Tax Desktop
Choose Dividends
Once you begin working on the 1099 DIV, check the box that mentions My form has info in other boxes (this is uncommon).
Once that box expands, look at Box 7 to see if there's a foreign tax amount recorded.
There is a follow-up screen that mentions US interest, but you can check none if this doesn't apply to you.

If the amount of foreign tax is less than $300 or $600 if you are married filing jointly, then there are no additional questions that will be asked about foreign source income. If the amount of your foreign tax is more than the threshold amount, then there will be a question about foreign-sourced income and where it came from. ‌That will generate a Form 1116.

The information shouldn't disappear from Box 7. ‌If there's an amount listed there, then it'll be recorded on Line 1 of Schedule 3.

Thank you for that info, but because my foreign taxes are < $300 it doesn't take me to the income portion of the interview. I know for a fact that my first pass through TurboTax it did take me to a section where it asked me about the foreign source income. I'm pretty sure it was later in the interview and not part of the 1099-DIV section. I think I input "various" or something like that when I should have input "RIC". I am trying to get back there to see what I input and just cannot find it. Any other ideas?
