Use a negative adjustment to capture the Social Security tax break for U.S. citizens residing in the U.K.
Tax Expert @ThomasM125 says:
You would enter the social security income in TurboTax as you normally would, then enter a negative amount as a deduction from Other Income in an amount equal to the taxable social security (see line 6(b) on form 1040.) The two numbers will cancel themselves out, leaving you with no taxable income from your social security. Cite the treaty by completing Form 8833 and attach it to your tax return. This form is not available in TurboTax.
First enter your SSA-1099
Find your taxable Social Security amount
Next enter the adjustment to Other Income by using these menu tabs in TurboTax
