This is how it works. If you filled out f1116, there is a screen asking for foreign sourced income. When you type in an amount, it is sent to the 1099-div box 6d. From there, it is copied to the f1116 worksheet. From there it is copied to f1116 itself. Now since there is no f1116 and no f1116 worksheet, it is useless. Thus you could type in box 6d any amount and it will go nowhere. It was properly vacant in TY 2016 and earlier.
