I entered foreign income on "Foreign Earned Income", which ends up on "Income 1h Other earned income" and payed foreign income tax on it. When I try to claim the foreign tax, by entering information on form 1116, it comes back with "0 Foreign income" Am I entering it wrong or is it not carrying over properly?

To clarify, did you claim Foreign Income Exclusion in your return?

I did not. I think I have to specify the income on the questions for Form 1116, but I'm struggling.

I'm not sure which category it falls under (It's income from foreign social security and pensions)

Level 15

To clarify further, what country?
