I enter info from SSA-1099 on the forms and the amounts match line 6A on the 1040 but the table amount is 0 on line 6B. I am not 65 yet and our income is over the minimum threshold so I believe there should be a taxable amount (85%). Is there a bug?

After entering the SSA-1099, there was a screen asking you if you lived in any of the listed foreign countries in 2025. You should have selected NO. But sounds like you may have selected YES
