You can use both, if you still have income over the exclusion amount.
When using the workaround as described, you will get to a page that asks you to enter the income on which you are reporting the tax paid. This should be the income you have already entered elsewhere as here it is just for the credit, and will not flow to the income lines on the tax return. Here, in your case, input the amount of income that exceeds your Foreign Earned Income and Housing Exclusion amount.
The desktop version of the TurboTax software is a little easier to use for more complex situations such as yours because of the ability to switch to "Forms Mode" and see the data as it is entered on the actual tax forms, something the online version cannot do.
We try to provide solutions that work with the product you are most comfortable using, which is what this workaround is designed for (it is not needed when working in the downloaded product.)
For your more complex situation, you may want to look at the CD/Download Premier version of TurboTax - just a suggestion. We will be happy to continue to provide you solutions to use the online product as well! If you would like to use the downloaded version - you can find it here: TurboTax download products.
You can transfer the data that you have already entered into the online product to the desktop product by downloading your tax data file from Tax Tools so that you don't lose work you've already done if you opt to go that route.
