From the treaty I read, it seems that SS from these 2 countries are taxed in their respective countries and therefore not taxed in U.S. Totalization Agreement.

Your statement, particularly about SS not being taxed in U.S. Totalization Agreement, is confusing.  Totalization agreement governs how social security contributions are made and how benefit entitlements are determined, not how social security benefits are taxed.  The application also determines whether social security taxes may in whole or in part be creditable for FTC.

My client also has pension income of $28k from France and 10% tax was withheld. 

This can be reported on U.S. Income Tax return, but what line should I use ?

There are more questions that need to be raised: https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-discussions/discussion/where-are-foreign-pension-i...

Is there any one I can call at Proseries ?

If I were you, I'd find myself a four-leaf clover before calling, especially if you are looking for tax technical support.

---

Can I send you the return when I finish and you can give me your opinion from your experience.

We specialize in international returns but do not review international returns prepared by others even if a fee is paid due to the potential complexity of these returns as well as the amount of time and risks involved.

When it comes to foreign "Sch C" businesses, I am always skeptical whether the correct classification is identified.  See this thread for reference: https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-discussions/discussion/i-have-a-self-employed-clie...
