Deductions & credits

For lines 3d and 3e, gross income means the total of your gross receipts (reduced by cost of goods sold), total capital and ordinary gains (before subtracting any losses), and all other income (before subtracting any deductions).

 

Here is what the IRS instructions for Line 2 of Form 1116 state:  Enter your deductions that definitely relate to the gross income from foreign sources shown on line 1a. For example, if you are reporting foreign business income on line 1a, include on line 2 business expenses such as supplies and advertising incurred as part of operating the foreign business. Also include on line 2 state and local income taxes related to foreign source income. For more information, see Pub. 514 and section 861 and the regulations under that section. Attach a statement listing the separate expenses included on line 2.  

 

There is no 2e on Form 1116, but guidance for lines 3d (foreign sources) and 3e (all sources) is above.  Both lines should be the gross income amount.
