Citizen but non-resident of US with US income - claiming tax credit for foreign tax on US income

I am a US citizen but I am currently tax-resident in Australia.    Some of my US income is taxable in Australia.   I believe I can claim a tax credit in the US for this - but I cannot see how to enter it in TurboTax.

Citizen but non-resident of US with US income - claiming tax credit for foreign tax on US income

So again:  US Citizen, currently permanent tax resident in Australia - so paying Australian tax on most US income (Interest, Dividends, Capital Gains, SEP/IRA Distributions).   Aust/US have a Tax Treaty to minimize double taxation, although US can additionally tax some income up to a % limit. 

Note: The Turbo Tax functionality for Foreign Tax Credit allows only allocation of non-US income to the foreign tax paid functionality - the USA is not an available option to assign income to foreign tax paid.

Perhaps this has to be done outside TT ?
