Hmmmm, I just opened my 2023 program to check. It did ask if you lived abroad. I don't think anyone had problems for 2023. What changed for 2024? Although I'm sure it did ask me twice in 2024. Once at the beginning of the section and then after I filled out SS. But they must have updated SS by now. If you don't answer yes or no it stops and gives you a red error to select an option.
