Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@birdatiel31 , having gone through the above conversation and generally agreeing with @VolvoGirl -->
1. You as a US citizen/Resident report this foreign income as if it is earned in the USA ( self-employment / consultant/sole proprietor ) on Schedule - C.
2. The gross income(s) and the associated expenses ( for this stream and any other self-employment incomes) are all shown on Schedule-C. All you have to do is to tell the TurboTax that you have self-employment income or business income -- it will walk you through the rest.
3.Your contractor/"employer", needs to provide you a statement showing the total amount of remuneration paid to you. They can use an official statement or tax form used in the local country -- you need this for your back-up ( if the IRS questions the income ).
4. If ( not likely in this case ) the foreign govt. charges you any taxes on this income, then that amount may be eligible for foreign tax credit / deduction.
If you need more on this , please feel welcome to ask ( in comments )
