How to file jointly and both use Foreign Earned Income Exclusion?

I am using the IRS free file program delivered by TurboTax. My spouse and I want to file jointly and both use form 2555. Can I enter two forms? Otherwise, how do I exclude the two sources of foreign earned income for two different ID numbers? Thank you!

Yes, you can prepare Form 2555 for both of you.  On the second screen in the foreign earned income exclusion is a field to enter your spouse's income next to your foreign income.
