Her 1099-SSA will get reported in the Income & Expenses section on TurboTax Online. To enter it you can follow these steps: Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if it's not already open. In TurboTax, search for the term social security benefits and then select the Jump to link at the top of your search results. On the Social Security Benefits screen, answer Yes and select Continue. Check the first box, then enter the amounts from your form(s) where indicated. If you received multiple SSA-1099s, add up the amounts for each box and enter them together. Do not include SSA-1099s for dependents. Those should be reported on the dependent's return, but only if they are required to file a return (this is uncommon). Select Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. We'll calculate what portion, if any, of your Social Security benefits are taxable. If your only income is from Social Security, you aren't required to file a return.
