You are entitled to a foreign tax credit regardless of whether you take the standard deduction or not. And you have put in a good faith effort to discover what your foreign source income is and now it is understandable that you estimate it. Assume the foreign tax is at 4 or 5% and then figure the income from that. As long as the foreign source income is not greater than the income on the 1099 that is fine for purposes of calculating your foreign tax credit.
