I am re posting the questions, because maybe it was just not notice by the experts or maybe there is no good answer...
I am using TT premier
I worked both in USA and Germany
I am getting "social security' from both countries
Germany is not sending any 1099 form - how to I report my foreign income - should I "simulate" a 1099 entry or enter somewhere else manually?
also in the US SSA will be taxed up to 85% only - can I limit how much of my foreign Social security income will be taxed?
I have been paying taxes on it .. claiming the tax credit seems rather complicated... any advice?
thanks

It is not directly an answer to your question, but in some cases you can exclude that income.
See article 19 (Government Service; Social Security) on the tax treaty between US and Germany,
great , thanks, this is a good read!
