JJ, you DO put the pension on 1040 and then again enter it on the 1116. Let us know as you work through those sections if you need help. Because foreign income can be any kind of income, there isn't a clear way to "link" it to the 1116 except when it is on dividends.
Therefore, you do enter it wherever it normally goes (either 1099-R area or Miscellaneous for you) which will put it on 1040. Then again on the 1116 to tell the program the income amount that is tied to your credit (and when you enter it this second time it won't go on the 1040 a second time)
