SSA taxable amount is 9

for my 2025 taxes TurboTax says I have no taxable SSA on line 6b, even though I have a large joint AGI and SSA payments. I should have 85% of SSA as taxable. IRS calculator agrees with me, can’t get any real help from TT.

A common reason could be the Foreign question. Go back through the Social Security questions. There is a screen asking if you lived in a foreign place. People have been answering it wrong or skipping it. And it is for each spouse.
