In the current desktop TurboTax software, with the most recent updates, the question in the interview does not have a default. You have to select either Yes or No in order to proceed. In forms mode the default is effectively No. There is no Yes or No choice on the worksheet. There is a box that has to be checked to indicate Yes, and by default the box is not checked.
Of course, if you return to the question in the interview after Yes has been selected, it will still have Yes selected. That is not a default. That is showing the previously selected answer. You only see a default, if any, the very first time you go to the Social Security topic in a return where Social Security has not previously been entered.
This question is new this year. It's possible that earlier in the season it had an incorrect default, which has since been corrected. If you paid penalties or interest because of the error you can submit a claim under the Accurate Calculation Guarantee.
