@HM888 The IRS does 'document matching' so they will not have either a 1099-R or an SSA-1099 for you.
Definitely don't use the SSA-1099 section to report this income, since Social Security benefits are often non-taxable or only party taxable.
1099-R income is taxed the same as other income on your return.
The cleanest way to report your foreign pension income is by using 'Other Income' where you can enter a description of the income. No worries about 'fake' ID's or Efile errors.

If you paid tax on the income, claim a Foreign Tax Credit. Choose 'general category income' to report taxes paid on Form 1116.
