I live permanently in the UK. I am filing forms 1116 (passive/general) but can not locate anywhere in TurboTax to include my 2018 UK taxes paid on wages and interest.

Can anyone help?  

There appears no place in the wages and income section to list taxes paid and the questions on the two 1116 forms similarly don't seem to ask for what taxes I paid on my wages and interest.  I literally can find no where to include this information.  Is it not necessary?  I'm sure in other programmes I'd be asked what foreign taxes I've paid already on foreign income, but nothing here.  

Thanks for any help.

when did you arrive at UK ? Is this your first year and if not  how did you file earlier returns?  From your post I assume that you are US citizen/resident ( Green Card ) --yes?

Hi.  Thanks for coming back to me!  
I've lived in the UK for over two decades (and *only* in the UK).  I have no US income but yes, am a US citizen.  Previously I paid for my return to be done, this is the first time I am using a fill-in-the-blank, spit-out-the-return service.  But I know on previous returns the taxes I paid here in the UK were noted on the 1040/1116 forms.  Here there is nowhere throughout the whole 'q and a' sections that I am asked to fill in how much UK tax I've paid.  I'm quite a low earner so have never owed the US taxes, but I am eligible, because I have a child who is an American citizen, for a refund.
Thanks for any help.
