Deductions & credits

If you have an amount in box 6 of a form 1099-INT and/or an amount in box 7 of a form 1099-DIV, you are entitled to a credit for foreign tax paid.  Form 1116 is not required , in this situation (your only foreign tax paid is shown on 1 1099-Div or 1099-INT).   If form 1116 is inadvertently generated, delete it, as described by DoninGA.
