The account is held in the foreign country. There is no 1099-MISC.

How was the income reprted to you. I think I got a 1099Misc that
showed certain dividends as qualified.

If you are asking about Sasol LTd (listed as SSL on the NYSE),
then you have a qualified dividend. Sec. 1(h)(11)(C)(ii)

Default how to determine if foreign dividend is qualified

How does one determine if a foreign dividend is qualified? I did read

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/u...0-.html#h_11_C

but it seems confusing.

If the stock trades on a major US exchange, such as Sasol -- SOL on
the JSE in South Africa, SSL on the NYSE -- is it qualified?

What about stocks that trade on the pink sheets, such as Firstrand --
FSR on the JSE, FANDF on the Pink Sheets?
