I am being told to "check this entry" and edit my 2555-T by "returning to Interview and search foreign income", but I don't know how to do this.

I am an active duty service member living in Germany; should I mark my income earned as foreign or not?

No, you do not enter your military pay as foreign earned income.

If you started a Form 2555, delete the form

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Tools

Click on Delete a form

You enter your military W-2 in Federal>Wages & Income

In the My Info section of the program for your personal information you should have indicated that you were active military.

For your resident state you should have entered your Home of Record for your state. When asked if you lived in any other states you answer NO. When asked if you made money in any other states you answer NO (assuming that your military pay is your only income).
