Deductions & credits

Hi.  Thanks for coming back to me!  
I've lived in the UK for over two decades (and *only* in the UK).  I have no US income but yes, am a US citizen.  Previously I paid for my return to be done, this is the first time I am using a fill-in-the-blank, spit-out-the-return service.  But I know on previous returns the taxes I paid here in the UK were noted on the 1040/1116 forms.  Here there is nowhere throughout the whole 'q and a' sections that I am asked to fill in how much UK tax I've paid.  I'm quite a low earner so have never owed the US taxes, but I am eligible, because I have a child who is an American citizen, for a refund.
Thanks for any help.
