In order to generate the 1116 that you don't need this year you should enter a large foreign tax credit.
In the 'Deductions and Credits' section of your federal return scroll down to 'Estimates and Other Taxes Paid' and click 'start' next to 'Foreign Taxes'. Enter a few hundred bucks in taxes paid to whichever country you want to enter. This should generate the 116 you're looking for. Check it over and make sure your carryovers are there. Then go back to the foreign tax section and delete the foreign taxes that you entered there.
