Deductions & credits

I have this problem as well.  My foreign self-employment earnings are exempt (US has social security agreement with my country of residence).  My Schedule C income automatically transfers to Part II, line 1a of the Schedule SE Adjustments Worksheet. In order to show that I have no SE liability, I enter that same amount in Part II, line 7, which results in line 8 ("Total for Schedule SE, line 2) being zero.  Therefore, as should be the case, no Schedule SE is generated.  However, according to the IRS, I should complete Schedule 4 (Other Taxes), and on line 57, I should enter "Exempt, see attached statement".  I have not been able to do this through Turbo Tax.  Surely, there must be some workaround that I have missed.  Help, please.  I would love to get this filed electronically.
