@tania3559 , thank you for your answers to my questions -- from your post it appears you should be able to satisfy the foreign tax home ( form 2555 ) and exclude your foreign earned income from US taxes.
Generally how I enter the foreign wages is as follows --- under personal income, ; select "I will choose what I work on", then from the next screen (list of income categories ) , go all down to the bottom -- under category head " Less Common Income", you will find Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion " , select this on the right and this should take you to --> What form was Foreign Income reported on --- follow through the next few screens entering / answering questions and you should see the final income ( wages appear on line 7 of the form 1040 ) and a subtraction amount ( of the excluded amount ) on line 7a ( this comes via schedule-1, line 9 ).
Are you not seeing this?
How did you enter the income?
Another item to note --- if you have declared that you are a resident to your host country ( Tobago, Trinidad ) then yes you should file as bona-fide resident -- but this requires IRS approval. Most ExPats, that I know use the Physical Presence Test -- 330 days away from the USA in any 12 months ( the test period ) -- it is just that in this case you have to meet the test every year where as for bona-fide resident , once approved by the IRS, you do not have to pass any test again.
I await your answer ( entry of the income ) -- because there is something different -- I cannot replicate your situation and need help
