Deductions & credits

With regard to filling out Form 1116,

 

1. Enter all your foreign income in the Wages & Income section if you haven't already

The above made me hit a brick-wall.  Entering foreign income and then going into 1116 actually increased my tax liability here in the U.S.  and it clearly needs to be opposite, given the significant taxes I paid.

 

The problem is really where to properly enter the foreign income.  I have spoken with 3 TT Tax Advisors already.
