Deductions & credits

The amount on line 1(e) on form 1116 comes from the worksheet above it, the Gross Income from All Sources Worksheet. If you right click on the number in the first row of that worksheet, you will see a list of the forms where that number would be coming from. You can then take a look at the forms from that list that are in your return to determine what is making up that number.

The higher the gross income from all sources is, the lower your foreign tax credit will be, as it is based on your US tax on foreign income. I suggest you trouble shoot that number before you do anything else.
