I am encountering the same issue. I am a U.S. citizen who lives and works as a resident in another country, but have rental income in the states. My wage income is taxed by the foreign country and I pay foreign taxes directly to them. I enter all my information on the "Wages & Income" screen that I can, but at no time does it ask me how much I paid in foreign taxes as I would have expected in the "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion" section. I then go to the "Deductions & Credit" screen and follow the standard tutorial for "Foreign Tax Credit" but get stuck at the same error in the subject line after checking "Yes, I paid foreign taxes this year." It wants me to go back and finish entering in my foreign taxes paid. The question is: Where? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
