Deductions & credits
If your only foreign taxes are social security taxes that don't qualify for a foreign tax credit, then you don't need to bother with the Form 1116 or foreign taxes.
When you work through the foreign tax section, you assign your foreign income to whatever country it is from and you enter the foreign tax paid to that country. Doing so does not add that income to your taxable income. If you need to add foreign income that is not already reported on your tax return, you do that in the Wages and Income section, then Less Common Income, then Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion. You will see a screen there where you enter your Foreign Earned Wages, I believed you may have made an entry there in error:
