Deductions & credits
@Global20 while in TurboTax, use the search box -- enter "foreign tax .." then from the drop down box jump to "foreign tax credit". This will then open up dialogue/questions for form 1116 regarding foreign tax credit.
Also , you may want to try doing your return both as Married Filing Sep ( for each of you ) and as Married Filing Joint --- this is because foreign tax credit allowable is based on a ratio of foreign income to world income -- thus if you yourself have a large US income then the foreign tax credit may be quite limited ( and not the $1200 that your wife paid ).
let me know if I can do more
