I think you want to report the social security income but have it show as not taxable in line 6(b) of Form 1040. You will need to report the social security income as if it was reported on a US Form SSA-1099, then enter a negative adjustment to income to cancel out the income appearing on line 6(b). You must list on the tax return the treaty that exempts the income from taxation.
You can make that adjusting entry in TurboTax as follows:
1. From the Federal menu in TurboTax find Wages and Income
2. Find Less Common Income
3. Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
4. Choose Other Reportable Income
5. Enter a description of the treaty and the adjustment as a negative number
You must complete Form 8833 Treaty-Based return position disclosure and include it with your return. That form is not available in TurboTax, so you will need to complete that separately and attach it to your tax return that you would mail in. Here is a link to the form: Treaty income adjustment
