In this case I would enter them all, meaning the total added up amount, under "Foreign earned income and Exclusion" in TurboTax. Or should they be entered in different sections in TurboTax? If yes, which type goes where?

As an expat you are allowed to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) if you
The income you receive must be earned income outside the United States, and not investments such as dividends and interest. Earned income includes (not all inclusive) wages, salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, and other amounts received for personal services.
Your unemployment benefits are not considered earned income; however, your severance pay and salary may qualify for the FEIE if the following aforementioned requirements are met. Furthermore, your settlement may be considered earned income and qualify for the FEIE if the settlement was employment related.
Please note a non-FEIE settlement (excluding personal injury awards), and unemployment compensation is still considered a reportable and taxable event and must be entered in your return even if they don't qualify for the FEIE.

I am at complete loss.
It'll be my first tax report in years and have never done as an expat.
I was filling in US when needed until my earnings gave me an exempt. Now I am renting part of my house and have enough earnings to declare or...I am not sure.
Thank you soooo very much for helping
