The 1040 social security taxable amount shows zero taxable. My income from pensions and interest on investments total substantially above the limits so that my social security income should be taxable.   I like the answer but don't believe it is correct.

    After you enter your SSA1099 there is a screen that asks if you lived in certain foreign countries during 2025.   If you skip past that screen or if you answer incorrectly, your SS is not taxed correctly.   It is important to take the time to read every screen top to bottom.  Go back to the SSA1099 entry screen and then keep going through the next couple of screens.
