You should enter her income as Miscellaneous Income, Other Reportable Income, Other taxable Income:

Federal >Wages and Income
Scroll down to Less Common Income
Select Miscellaneous Income
Select Other reportable income, select ‘yes’ and you will be prompted to enter Description and amount, for the description Wages from being an employee of an international organization not subject to FICA taxes and then the amount.
