Deductions & credits

For that amount, TT should have automatically inserted that into line 48 of the !040 unless possibly you have carryovers from 2016.  This is the $300 /$600 exemption for single or MFJ respectively

Here is how to use the exemption in your case..

To ensure a clean start, delete F1116.
Go to the foreign tax credit interview and when you
start, here are the screen headers and the responses.       
1. Foreign tax credit
             Continue
2. Tell us about your foreign taxes.
                  Skip the foreign tax credit.
3.  Foreign Taxes
             Continue
TT will exit the interview and the credit should appear on line 48 of the 1040.
