Form 1116 Error TurboTax

HELP . . .

IRS instructions explain how to elect to claim the foreign tax credit without filing Form 1116.

This specifies that the foreign taxes don't exceed $300 (single).

IRS instructs me to enter  the amount on Schedule 3 , line 1.

But when I do this TT takes me to a worksheet with only two options: Deduction  or 1116 .

Form 1116 generates a much lower credit.

I have deleted 1116 several times .    Schedule 3 , line 1 is initially blank but when I enter try to enter a number , a new 1116 worksheet appears with the same wrong options .
