Hi. Please see questions below in bold/italics:
Forms Tab ; then from the drop down forms tree ( applicable to your particular return ), look for Schedule - SE Adjustment worksheet (are you able to attach here a screenshot? Not sure where to look for this forms tree); open this , right at the top -- like line 1 you will see a ref. " approved form 4029" click the check BOX -- you are claiming approved form 4029 ( approved by SSA I assume you mean Canada's SSA /CRA (Canada Revenue Service) or I need to have the form approved by the United States SSA? I ask because my filing deadline is the 15th and unless I can get this done in person at the US SSA office I feel like this will take weeks or months to hear back?). This form is for religious ministers etc. but the approval comes from SSA. You do the same thing, show the certificate of participation ( ref'd in my earlier note ) to SSA and you get their approval . You do not have to send this to the IRS ( just your US employer I don't have a US Employer. My employer is 100% in Canada. Does this change things? If so, how? ( if any for the Canadian income ). There is an explanation box -- click that and include your explanation that you claim this benefit under totalization agreement between US and Canada. That should work -- just make sure that not only the SECA liability is zero but also the 50% adjustment to your world income is also zero before computing AGI (sorry, but where do you get the figure of 50% to adjustment to world income and how do I adjust this or does TurboTax adjust it automatically and where do I see this adjustment in the filing?). Thanks in advance.
