How can I correct the SS benefits taxable in my 1040-SR?

[okeykwon]

SSA tax expert told me I have to correct my and my wife's SS benefits of our 1040_SR form to a taxable income.

On the screen following the entry of the SSA-1099, answer NO when asked if you lived in any of the foreign countries listed.

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

Are you saying that you entered yours and your spouse's SS benefits in the Social Security interview (see DoninGA's post above), and that TurboTax calculated the wrong taxable amount?

As you may know, we in the Community cannot see your tax return, so we are not really sure of what you are talking about.

Please provide us more detail and some context.

Did you already file and the IRS corrected it?   The Foreign Country question was missed or answered wrong.   

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099  under

Federal Taxes

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit  button

After you enter it keep going.  There are follow up questions you need to answer.  Especially look for if you lived in a Foreign country.  Should be No for each spouse.
