Where do I enter income earned from another country but earned while living in US for the full year. No taxes were paid to the foreign country. Would it be reported as "Other Income"

Wages go on Line 1 of the 1040.

On the 1040 Wks, click the blank area between where it says "Attach Form(s) W2" and spot where the total amount of wages shows up (it is a hidden Quickzoom button).  That will open up a Wage Worksheet.

On that worksheet, foreign wages go on line 8b.

How was it "earned"?  Was the person an employee?  Self employed?  Something else?
