Foreign Capital Gain and related credit for foreign taxes paid

I have a foreign capital gain from the sell of real estate in Canada.  The gain was around $3,000 and the Canadian taxes on it were about $1,000.  I do not see a way to enter this transaction into turbo tax.  When I go into the foreign income credit section the only option is to choose  a dividend from an investment account.  The interview questions do not to relate to my situation.   I did enter the gain in the investment income section.  But there is no way to designate it as a foreign capital gain and tie the corresponding taxes paid in Canada for the tax credit to the gain.

 

Do I have to enter this manually on Form 1116 and omit the gain from the Investment Income section.  If so how do I go about doing this?  What would the category be for the gain (passive category, general, lump-sum distribution)?

 

Thx in advance.
