In previous versions of Lacerte as far as I can remember the best practices was no date on 1099-DIV and 1099-INT entries as the program would automatically populate the efile with "1099 Taxes" as per the IRS instructions for form 1116.

If foreign tax paid on passive income is reported to you in U.S. dollars on a Form 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, or similar statement, you don't have to convert the amount shown into foreign currency.  This rule applies whether or not you can make the election to claim the foreign tax credit without filing Form 1116 (as explained earlier). Enter “1099 taxes” in Part II, column (l), and complete columns (q) through (u) for each foreign country indicated in Part I.
