I am trying to apply for foreign earned income exclusion. All of my and my spose's incomes as reported on our W-2s was earned abroad. Therefore, when asked "what forms was foreign income reported on?", I indicate "A regular form W-2 from your employer". I'm then prompted to "go back and indicate that income n the Wages & Income section". When I do so, I am taken back to my W-2 info. I cannot find a way to edit these W-2s to make Turbotax believe that they were earned abroad. Therefore, I am unable to progress with the Earned Income Exclusion form. How do I make Turbotax understand that the same W-2s ARE my foreign earned income?

Once you enter your W-2 income in the Wage & Income section and you go the the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, Turbotax will ask you
Was Your Foreign Income Reported on a W-2, Ready? Click on No, I'll keep working on the foreign income exclusion.
Two pages later, it will ask you to confirm the amount of foreign wages on your W-2.
