Federal > Wages and income only has the following options:
- Unemployment / paid family leave (1099-G)
- Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto)
- 1099-OID, Foreign Accounts
Then below (in smaller heading):
- Wages and Salaries (Form W-2)
- Self-Employment
- Unemployment
- etc, etc, etc,
Intuitively, I click on `Wages and Salaries (Form W-2)`, although my foreign employer does not provide a W-2. I am then presented with 3 options:
+ Work on my W-2
+ I don't have a W-2
+ Skip it for now
None of these options seem to apply. Could you please provide guidance on how to enter wages from employment in a foreign country, using https://us-east-2.turbotaxonline.intuit.com/ ?

Wages from employment in a foreign country are called foreign earned income. To enter foreign earned income in TurboTax, in the Search box type "foreign income" (without the quotes), then click the link that says "Jump to foreign income."
When TurboTax asks what form the foreign income was reported on, select "A statement from my foreign employer (could be cash)."

This works very well. Thank you so much!
