Foreign social security

How to report foreign social security to Turbotax when there is no tax forms from Croatia, they just don't issue any. I wanted to make substitute 1099-R but was told by Turbotax expert that that's not it but to change it to 1099 NEC as hobby!!! as it would  go through that way. I do not feel that as ok so wondering what to do. Is it ok to add it to Sch 1 , under 8-z and describe what it is or under Other reportable income when asked if there's any not reported yet? I assume there are many people in same situation and it's strange that Turbotax has no direction for it. I've read several advises from Turbotax community and there are at least 4 different options. I do understand that reported income will be the same and taxed  the same on any of those substitute Forms but it would be nice to know what is correct way. Also, if filing manually and mail tax return  it's again an issue as there's no form to fill anyway! Thanks
