2021 turbo tax reports my taxable social security benefit as $17,931.  My social security benefit statement reports net benefits of $21095, why is this?

That is because your entire Social Security benefits are not taxable.  Only up to 85% of your SS benefits are taxable. In your case, that means only $17,931 is taxable.
