Where do I enter my total U.S. dollars for the total foreign earned income earned and received.

what do you mean your "total us dollars?"

[woody459]

This is from the 2555 form.I have selected What Form(s) Was Foreign Income Reported On which is my W2 however the next steps ask about employer provided goods and employer paid you cash but nothing about the 2555 form to complete for the exclusion.
