Deductions & credits

The foreign tax rate that you paid isn't what that multiplier is about.  It's about your US tax rate.  You can't take a deduction for the full amount of foreign tax that you paid because you can only take a deduction for what the US tax would be on that foreign income.  In your case the system already figured out that that is 15%.
