In addition to not allowing foreign tax credits, you are not allowed the foreign earned income exclusion or deductions for foreign housing expenses, unlike federal returns.
Choosing a credit or a deduction To choose the deduction, you must deduct foreign income taxes on Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. To choose the foreign tax credit, you generally must complete Form 1116 and attach it to your Form 1040, Form 1040-SR or Form 1040-NR.
To make the election, just enter on the foreign tax credit line of your tax return (for example, Schedule 3 (Form 1040), Part I, line 1) the smaller of (a) your total foreign tax, or (b) your regular tax. See the instructions for line 20, later, for how to figure your regular tax.
Different categories of income can require a separate Form 1116. Classify your foreign income by category, and complete a separate Form 1116 as required. Attach Form 1116 to your tax return. If a foreign tax redetermination occurs, you must file Form 1040-X to notify the IRS of the change to avoid penalties.
