Tax treaty entry

I have twice asked the same question, and have received answers that do not answer it. I know how to enter foreign earnings and did not ask that. But I do not know how to deduct the foreign earnings based on a tax treaty. Using the online version of TurboTax, which does not have a Go To Forms button (which was the basis of one of the replies I got), how do I deduct based on a treaty?

Let's try this a different way: Go to your Income Tab - Tslips - Foreign Slips. Anything that has to do with a tax treaty is entered here. You enter in your information based on the slip you have for your foreign income.

In this section there is a place to enter "Foreign employment income" but nowhere to enter Foreign income exempt under a tax treaty. There is a place to enter pension income exempt under a tax treaty, but not income.

@philipbg  @ielongo - This is presented under the Income tab - Other Sources of Income then T1135 Statement of Foreign Income Verification.

The T1135 is a foreign income verification sheet, you declare what you own outside of Canada. Treaty or not. When you enter your income sources in the Foreign Slip - choosing the right "tax treaty exemption" based on the source of income. You will not be double taxed.
