Foreign tax credits are non-refundable credits used to reduce tax liability generated from taxable income. This gradually reduces your tax liability to zero. If your tax liability is less than your foreign tax credit, then the used credit will be a carry over into future years until the credit is exhausted.
I have prepared taxes for individuals that were never able to fully utilize the full amounts of their foreign tax credit.
