The simplifed method allows you to receive your foreign tax credit without going throught the trouble of completing form 1116. If you choose that method, you will be allowed up to a $300 foreign tax credit if you are filing as a single individual, or up to $600 if you are filing a joint tax return. Also, if you aren't able to use the entire $300 or $600 credit in the current year you will not be able to carryover an unused loss to the following year.
