It may be relevant as the foreign tax credit is a credit against your federal income tax, so it is not directly related to your itemized deductions. There is a foreign tax deduction that would be an itemized deduction, but what you mention is a credit, so you may get that even if you don't itemize your deductions. If the foreign tax is less than $600 (filing joint) or $300 (filing single) it may be credited to your tax automatically without you completing the foreign taxes section in TurboTax.
