Hi,

Have a client who is a resident (not citizen of USA) for tax purposes, he received Social security income from the government which is not taxable under US-China Tax Treaty article 17.

 I want to report on Sch 1 part I as other income,  and then enter the amount on Schedule 1 part II as adjustment to income so the net taxable income is zero.

But I could not enter it as other adjustment on Part II line 24z, the system error I got:  The IRS instructions state Schedule 1 line 24z should be blank. Remove any existing input below.

Could anyone help?

How would I report this? Or not report at all?

Thanks!
