I followed the 6 steps and reported the foreign soc sec amounts (for two countries) and gave explanations of currency exchange rates used, i.e. IRS yearly average exchange rates. This year my taxes increased about $600. The amounts from this year and last year are basically the same. I does not seem that the soc sec is taxed differently than regular income when filing them in this spot. Last year I filled out the 1099R forms as well, but had to print them and then fill out addresses and organization numbers by hand afterwards, as they did not fit. Not an option this year and the Turbo Tax page refuses to "Continue" if the numbers and addresses does not fit into the spaces allowed. Still hoping to find another way.
