How do I enter wages and unemployment benefit I received in Australia?

in Filing my taxes

I was both an Australian resident and a US resident in 2024. I earned a small amount of wages in Australia and also received unemployment benefit. The only place I seem to be able to enter either of these is under 'Uncommon Income / Other income'. Is this correct?

    Hello lasfabry,

    Thanks for your question! Our software doesn’t currently support reporting foreign earned income, including wages or unemployment benefits received outside the U.S. While you may be able to enter an amount under “Uncommon Income / Other Income,” this won’t fully meet IRS requirements for foreign income reporting. You need to use different software or consult a tax professional for this situation.
