Yes, resident foreign country taxes both his local wages and his IRA distribution (and 1099-MISC other income reported on a U.S. brokerage statement) as a resident of the country. (The country provides a FTC for income tax withheld at (US) source up to 15%, none withheld in this case but not relevant to my question anyway.) Taxpayer chooses to exclude foreign earned income on his 1040, and Pro Series does not seem to allow for a calculation of foreign credit for the IRA (general category, ordinary income ...) or 1099-MISC separate from the earned income. I'm pretty confident that he should be allowed a credit for the non-earned, general category income, but I do not see how this is possible on Pro Series 1116 without executing a number of overrides ... So either 1) I do not know how to activate this functionality in the form, 2)  the form just does not do it and Intuit has never found this important enough to enable and I will need to execute the overides, or 3) I am mistaken and the taxpayer is in fact not allowed a credit on his non-earned general category income if he claims the FEIE..
