Can I enter two sources of foreign earned income? This year I did some freelance translating in addition to my usual work and thus have two income statements.

If your foreign income is from two different employers, you will report your total income as one amount. As IRS only provides space for one employer's name and address, only select one of them. The main concern is to allow the program to exclude the corrected amount of foreign income, which requires entering the total of all foreign wages. To do so, here are the steps:

In TurboTax Deluxe online edition,

• After sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
• At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in foreign income and Enter 
• Select Jump to foreign income 
• Next screen, Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States? answer Yes 
• On-screen, What Form(s) Was Foreign Income Reported On ? check the third box and continue to proceed
• The next screen, Enter Your Foreign Earned Income, enter the total foreign income
• Follow prompts all the way until you see the screen Enter your employer's information 

If you are self-employed with a freelance related job, you would need to file a Schedule C before entering information under the Foreign Income.  If you are self-employed with the side job but did not perform in a foreign country, you would need to file a Schedule C without applying the foreign income exclusion.

Yes, you can enter two sources of foreign income in the program.  Make sure on the screen, What Forms Was Foreign Income Reported On? for each transaction, make the selection to indicate the corrected type of income.

I have done this, but am still not given the opportunity to input a second transaction.  I am told to enter my "total" foreign earned income and later on to give the information for my "main" employer.  I'm not sure how to get it to allow me to enter a second transaction from there.
