On Screen 16, under the section for "Other Information", check the box for "Not subject to self-employment tax".  A copy of the certificate of coverage must also be attached to the US tax return being filed to substantiate the exemption.

What about exempting a dual citizen's farm income from self employment tax?  There is no check box similar to that on Screen 16.
