Yes, if you paid a foreign tax then you can claim the foreign tax either as a deduction (when you itemize) or as a tax credit. In most cases, the tax credit is more beneficial. 

 

Please follow these instructions to claim the foreign tax paid after you entered your foreign income.

 

Please see Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit with Form 1116 for additional information.
