Thank you for the reply. I understand how you are working around the problem. However, according to the Instructions to Form 8833, one does not file this form if exemption of social security benefits is based on a tax treaty. So why would I attach it, particularly since it is not available in Turbo Tax?
I suspect my best route is to go back to snail mail filing!! Electronic filing does not
seem appropriate for those of us who live abroad. Too many issues....
Best wishes,
Betsy
