The credit is based on the percentage of your income that is earned in foreign countries versus your total income. For instance, if you earned 50% of your income from foreign sources and 50% domestically, then you would only be able to get a credit for 50% of your foreign Tax. That way, you are getting credit only on the portion of your US income tax that is based on the foreign income.
