Thanks to all the people who replied to my message. I followed the advice of a previous poster who suggested deleting the 1099-DIV and reimputting it. Then I went back to "Easy"Steps, and got shunted along to the instruction where you can select between Sched A (forgot the actual term) and Foreign Tax Credit. My feeble brain can't remember the next choice, but I chose the right one this time and all my problems went away. My $374 credit showed up on the summary page.
What I learned from last year is that unless you have actual foreign income—other than from an ADR in your brokerage account—or a foreign trust, do not fill out form 1116. If you're on the right path, the EasyStep instructions will have you list your foreign income sources and then ask you to enter an income amount (your ADR dividends). I actually just entered the amount for Denmark and the program went happily on without asking me for the Netherlands amount. Who am I to tilt at windmills? The credit showed up in the right place, and now it's on to state taxes! Personally, I think it's worth it to pay $700 for a CPA! Good luck to you all.
