I paid foreign taxes and had foreign income (already in system) but the system won't allow me to take the Foreign Tax Credit. How do I force enter my Foreign Tax Credit?

To claim a foreign tax credit, first enter your foreign income in the Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion section.

I. Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion

1. Type foreign income in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right
2. Select Jump to foreign income

Do I need to report foreign income? 

II. Foreign Tax Credit

1. Type foreign tax credit in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right
2. Select Jump to foreign tax credit

Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?

Thanks for the answer. Wow, the Jump option from search gives me a different set of options than the regular form!! I just figured this out. That is great!!!
