"I'm just completing my taxes for 2019 and reside in the UK thus my social secuirty payments should be be taxed by the IRS -"
Did you mean to write ""should NOT be taxed"? As noted above, US citizens who are residing in the UK do not pay US tax on their SS (because I assume the tax treaty lets the UK tax it).
And if you follow Irene's instructions (the only way for Online users to do it), your SS benefits SHOULD BE in line 5b.
And the negative amount for your SS should appear on line 8 on Schedule 1 (1040). Note that this is for 2019 - Other Income has moved around in the last three years.
Finally, you can see page 1 of your 1040 and its schedules by doing one extra step in looking at the summary. Do the following:
- Click on Tax Tools (on the left)
- Click on Tools (just below it)
- Click on View tax Summary (in the center)
- Click on Preview my 1040 (back on the left.
Now you can see the entire 1040.
