Solved

I work abroad, and I made less than $100,000 in 2016. My employer does not have an "employer ID". How do I fill out the "wages" section of my federal taxes?

You do not enter Foreign Earned Income in the section for a W-2 if you did not receive a W-2.

To enter Foreign Earned Income -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Less Common Income
On Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion, click on the start or update button

Or enter 2555, foreign income in the Search/Find box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 2555, foreign income
