Help with what to enter for foreign dividends in Turbotax

TurboTax is asking: “You entered $X of foreign taxes paid. Now enter the portion of your dividends and distributions that was from a foreign country or U.S. possession.”

On my Schwab 2025 1099 Composite & Year-End Summary, there’s a section/line for Total Foreign Tax Paid and (Foreign) Income.

For this TurboTax question, am I supposed to enter the foreign-source income amount from that section (i.e., the dividend/distribution amount that’s foreign-source), rather than my total dividends or something else? If so, which exact Schwab line label should I use (e.g. row "Total Foreign Tax Paid" and Income and column "Dividends Amount")?

Thanks in advance!
