Foreign Tax Credit Question - Other Gross Income

Hello

 

When entering the FOREIGN TAX CREDIT section under "Deductions" it comes to a line where it says: Other Gross Income and has the following description

"Do not enter any income already reported on Form 1099-INT, Form 1099-DIV, Form 2555, or Schedules K-1."

I have already entered the income in "Wages & Income" in the "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion" category. It does not say whether I am using any of the forms listed above in this section. I am not excluding the income, so it said it would remove some 2555 forms, but it was not clear if the form is removed entirely.

Can somebody clarify if I should be listing the same number for foreign income twice (1. Under Wages > Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion and 2. Deductions & Credits > Foreign Tax Credit). 

Thanks!
