I respectfully disagree.
If you will go to your 2020 PS (since that year actually had all the entries for Foreign Taxes from a K-1), find a client that had a positive tax for the year, no Foreign Tax Credit, and try this experiment.
The following numbers came from an actual client with a K-1 from Plains All American Pipeline. His tentative tax before credits was 13476
Give the client a PTP. Then make the following entries:
Line 1 Ordinary business income (loss) -2628
16A Canada
16B Gross Income from all sources 3400
16C Gross income sourced at the partner level 2
16F Foreign gross income passive category 844
16I Deduction allocated individual level - interest expense 586
16M Deductions passive category 628
16P Total foreign taxes paid 71
Then use the QuickZoom button to enter the additional info as required
Enter 12/31/20 on line 1 for date paid
On line 2a check the box to claim a credit
Double click the box on line 3a to link to a Form 1116
Select A for the country column
Then look at Schedule 3 Additional Credits and Payments Line 1 and see if you didn't get a $71 Foreign Tax Credit
Also take a look at Form 1116 (since total foreign taxes for this MFJ client were less than 600 this form will not even be filed with the IRS)
