The second time you aren't re-entering the income (although it kind of seems that way!) you are just designating that income as foreign-source so that you can then exclude it from income tax. You are essentially untaxing it by entering it the second time!
Once you designate it as foreign-source income you will then be able to determine if you can exclude it under the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or take a credit for taxes paid on the same income to another country.
