You seem to imply that you have access to a "Turbotax employee" . . . great! . . . maybe that will produce an answer. As for your other comments: 1) See Publication 915, Section entitled, "Are Any of Your Benefits Taxable?", Subsection entitled, "U.S. citizens residing abroad" and find . . .
U.S. citizens who are residents of the following countries are exempt from U.S. tax on their benefits.
Canada.
Egypt.
Germany.
Ireland.
Israel.
Italy. (You must also be a citizen of Italy for the exemption to apply.)
Romania.
United Kingdom.
The SSA will not withhold U.S. tax from your benefits if you are a U.S. citizen.
2) I am a retired person; I am not disabled and do not receive SSDI.
