How to claim foreign tax credit for canada pension income on NR4

[Lucas Gee]

I am able to report my Canadian pension income, but can't figure out how to get a foreign tax credit for the non-resident withholding tax deducted on the NR4. When I try, Turbo Tax takes me to a screen that asks me about dividends. I don't have any foreign dividends.  I think this is related to Form 1116.
