foreign source amount & form 1116

When I run smart check at the end of the sections, I get 2 different types of flags - all related to foreign source income to correct.
1)" Schedule B - 1099-Div <xxxxx brokerage company> foreign source amount must be entered" - and it shows a 1099 DIV worksheet Box 7 that contains foreign tax paid as in my 1099 DIV form- and asking me to fill box 7D - total foreign source income - this is only mutual funds inv. What do I enter ?  0 ?

2) "schedule B-1099-Div <xxxxx brokerage company>foregin tax schedule A box or form 1116 copy should be entered. return to the place to correct the entry" - and a checkbox with "foreign tax schedule A box " - it shows all the info transferred from brokerage, when I click 7b in the worksheet, it shows a short cut that takes me to another screen - form 1116 (COPY1) to link - " do I link this ? this form doesn't open or no content what am I supposed to do ?

 

thanks
