It depends. It is possible you may not have had enough tax liability to offset this credit. The Foreign Tax Credit is a non-refundable credit that can reduce your tax liability to zero, but it cannot give you a refund for any "leftover" amount. Check line 16 on your 1040 to see if it is zero or a low amount.
If an amount is listed, look to see if there's an amount on Line 17. This is where your Foreign Tax Credit will be applied to your tax return if there was an amount reported on line 16. This comes from Schedule 3, where the Foreign Tax Credit will be reported. You can also look at Schedule 3, line 1, to see if there's a Foreign Tax Credit listed there.
