@MonikaK1 As I said in my original post "The fact that this form was already filled out and I am merely double-checking entry by entry before submitting my completed return". My comment refers to double-checking my work by going through every single entry that I made from the beginning to the end of TTax in order to verify that I did not make any errors.
As others have stated, the entry form for SSA income cannot be entered once it has been completed. It jumps immediately to the section on foreign residency, skipping the page to enter SSA 1099 data. This is a serious error in the program. Of course, I can double check my work by opening 'forms' but that does not show me the hand-holding Q&A for entry.
I'm using the Mac version of Premier Desktop.
After deleting the SSA page and reentering data and continuing to the end of the entry of all items, I have saved and closed TTax. Before posting this reply, I opened TTax again and checked the SSA form. It opens *correctly* so perhaps I had some error in my prior entry which was made earlier, at least 2 version releases since then. I had to delete the form in order to be able to enter the data and allow the page to open correctly. Seems like there should have been an error instead of just skipping the page.
Anyway, all is well that ends well and I'm sorry for the rant I made in my frustration over the bad experience I was having after hours of tax data entry.
