In TurboTax you need to enter your foreign wages and then enter your foreign tax that you paid on these wages to help offset any double taxation.
You need to go to the foreign earned income section of TurboTax (enter "foreign income" (without the quotes) in the search box at the top of your screen and click the Jump to link). For your foreign wages, enter them here. Since you are not taking the foreign earned income exlcusion, after a number of screens you will see the following screen: Would you like to try and exclude your foreign earned income? Click No.
