Foreign income exemtion error

When I tried to enter the 15% foreign tax income exemption and error message came up saying that the exemption cannot exceed the foreign income. This is an obvious error that needs to be fixed

Foreign income exemtion error

@marky19628434 , please tell more of the scenario -- details such as country, type of income and obviously the article  of the treaty you are asserting.  Also what is your own immigration / tax  status  i.e. are you a US person ?  Where is your tax home ?

Assuming that you are probably talking about treaty based limitation of tax rate  for   some  specific types/categories  of passive incomes  ( like interest, dividend  etc. ), then  it would be  nice to know  the gross foreign income  for that category -- the limitation is usually complied by a mechanism of adjusting the gross amount to be taxed by the US.  

Please answer my questions .  Will circle back once I hear from you .
