Deductions & credits

Never had to use the "Forms view" before but would the foreign earned social security (pension) be entered at 5a and then put 0 in the Taxable amount field?   The IRS can't tax this income as by tax-treaty.   If my thinking is correct, I assume that I will then claim FTC on Form 1116 so that I am not getting taxed by the IRS on income I paid a heavy tax already.
