Yes, reporting the income as self-employment income on a schedule C would trigger self-employment tax. To avoid that and still have the income reported as wages, you can report it in the Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion section, which you will find under Less Common Income in the Wages and Income area of TurboTax. Choose the Statement from my Employer option on the screen that says What form was your foreign income reported on. You will then see an option to enter your wages on the screen that says Enter your Foreign Earned Wages. You wages will appear on line 1(h) of your Form 1040 as Other Earned Income.
