To clarify, why can't you complete the foreign tax credit? Please give us more specifics.

In the meantime, I'll also ask some questions that may help someone familiar with that topic help you:

 

How did you enter the income?   Did you go through the Foreign Income portion of the interview?

Were your wages on an actual W-2, or did your foreign employer give you their own form/statement (or cash)?
