Is there a way to reduce self-employment taxes to account for totalization agreements?

I'm a self-employed US citizen living in Belgium, which has a totalization agreement with the US. Since I pay all social security taxes here, I should not have to pay US self-employment taxes. I have the necessary certificate to prove this. My question is, what can I do on TurboTax so that the tax I owe is 0? (The only tax I owe is the self-employment tax which I should not have to pay.) I could not get this to work last year and ended up mailing my return with a copy of the certificate. Is there a way to make this work electronically?
