    Until this is has been updated,  you may wish to input "various" instead

    It still hasn't been updated as of 4/29. I had to use "Various" both on the foreign interest "1099" and on the Form 1116 worksheet to move on to filing. However, I did include an explanation statement to note the problem and identify the actual country.
