If your foreign income is from two different employers, you will report your total income as one amount. As IRS only provides space for one employer's name and address, only select one of them. The main concern is to allow the program to exclude the corrected amount of foreign income, which requires entering the total of all foreign wages. To do so, here are the steps:
In TurboTax Deluxe online edition,
- After sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in foreign income and Enter
- Select Jump to foreign income
- Next screen, Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States? answer Yes
- On-screen, What Form(s) Was Foreign Income Reported On ? check the third box and continue to proceed
- The next screen, Enter Your Foreign Earned Income, enter the total foreign income
- Follow prompts all the way until you see the screen Enter your employer's information
If you are self-employed with a freelance related job, you would need to file a Schedule C before entering information under the Foreign Income. If you are self-employed with the side job but did not perform in a foreign country, you would need to file a Schedule C without applying the foreign income exclusion.
