Social Security Benefits Worksheet - line 1b

I don't understand what this worksheet is doing. I have over $100k in investment and other income, and about $30k in social security benefits. Line 1b counts a benefit exemption for living in a foreign country - but I have never lived outside the US (the program has my correct address and state and knows I live there all year). 

 

Why is it deducting all of my SS?  Why is it assuming I live overseas?
