No foreign taxes paid, TurboTax business still creating form 1116

I use TurboTax business for a trust and it's creating form 1116 even though I don't have any foreign taxes.  All income is 1099-B's from stock sales, no 1099-DIV's.  All past income has been interest or dividends.  Even when I had foreign taxes it didn't create form 1116.  It may not have been created because it was last than $300

 

Not sure why it's creating the form.  Since I don't have foreign taxes, can it just be deleted?  Kind of hard to fill out the country where I didn't pay taxes!

 

Thanks

Yes, you can delete the Form 1116 if you don't need or want the foreign tax credit.
