Where to Enter my Foreign Income Taxes Paid (on Salary) in the Step-by-Step FTC Questionnaire?

I cannot find anywhere in the Foreign Tax Credit questionnaire that it asks me to enter the foreign tax I paid (in either USD or foreign currency + exchange rate) on my foreign salary!

Can someone please send me a screenshot or point me in the right direction concerning which screen asks (should ask) me to enter foreign tax on my wages?  I'm dying here...
