Foreign Retirement Tax Withheld

You can report Canadian RRIF distributions in TurboTax under 

  1. Wages & Income
  2. Retirement Plans and Social Security
  3. Canadian Registered Pension Income
  4. Enter the full form information in US Dollars
  5. Also, report the tax withheld under 
    1. Deductions & Credits 
    2. Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
    3. Foreign Taxes 
    4. This will claim a foreign tax credit. 

I retrieved this from a previous user's question. I go through #5 having ~17K for income and $2500 in withheld. But when I finish entering it, my Federal Tax Due does not go down as I expect it to.
