Thanks for all the comments, and Yes to SS benefits (not wages) -- from SSA-1099. To summarize, TT would not allow me to enter numbers under me, only spouse. Box 5a was totally locked, and I could not right-click to add supporting detail either, although with the community's guidance I did find I could access supporting detail by clicking the Edit option (top menu). When I did that I saw the supporting detail that TT had carried over from 2022, and it erroneously included data from Form 1116 in 2022 (foreign tax credit) and populated it into the SS Form for 2023. TT is great for almost everything but does not cover Form 1116 scenarios thoroughly so I was not surprised to see that show up as an error in the SS Form for 2023!! Conclusion: I went under Forms and deleted the SS Form and started the Step-by-Step over and it worked fine. Thanks, everyone! What a cool thing this community is! (First time user)
