I had foreign wages for the first 5 month of the year 2016 and US wages for the rest 7 months. How do I report those on my tax return?

I am not able to find an option to add my foreign wages in the wages section.

You would enter the seven months of U.S. income in the W-2 section and the five months of foreign income by following these steps:

How to Enter Foreign Income

• Open your tax return in Turbotax

• Go to Federal Taxes

• Select Wages & Income

• Click I'll choose what I work on

• Scroll down the page to the last section Less Common Income and select Show More

• Select Start to the right of Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion

• Go through this section and enter the income that you earned abroad.

• Please note: if you received a W-2, it should be flagged as foreign income in the follow-up questions of the W-2 entry.  You need to check the box indicating that you worked outside the U.S.
