Deductions & credits

If you meet the limits ($300 single, $600 joint), Form 1116 is not required, thus schedule B is also not required.  If your tax paid is over that limit, reducing the value on your 1099 input(s) so the foreign tax is below that limit should allow you to e-File...  This is only reasonable if you are close to the limit, otherwise you will forego a large amount of potential tax credit.
