Couples filing joint U.S. tax return are required to report their worldwide income.  You enter wife's foreign income in the section Federal>>Income>>Less Common Income>>Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion>>Start.  There will be a place to enter the income for which there is no W-2.  You can continue through that interview in case her income qualifies for exclusion.
