For one thing, Line 17 on Schedule 1 is a calculated amount that is entered elsewhere in the return. You can't enter this directly on the form as the program is not designed to work strictly with forms.
File the return as Cynthiad66 has described and claim a foreign tax credit for the amount of social insurance you paid for in the foreign country. This means you will pay self-employment taxes in the US but claim a credit for the taxes you paid in the foreign country. Also you will be able to claim the Self-employment health insurance deduction.
After preparation of the Self-employment return, go to Federal>deductions and credits>deductions and credits>estimate and other taxes paid>Foreign Tax Credit to claim the foreign tax credit.
