Is UK pension income earned income for the foreign earned income exclusion?

Use Form 1116 to claim a foreign tax credit on income that was taxed by both the UK and US.

The UK pension gets reported as pension income. There are fields to indicate it is from a foreign payor.

EDIT: There are fields in Lacerte to indicate it is from a foreign payor. Not sure about ProSeries.
