Yes, you must report your Social Security earnings on your tax return (if you are required to file a tax return)Who Must File a Tax Return?

 

If you have already filed your return, you can wait until it is accepted & processed, then file an amended return.

 

Or, you can wait until the IRS sends you an automated notice (CP2000) pointing out your error and proposing additional taxes on the SS income. This is not an audit, and they will send a payment voucher for any additional tax due - no amended return required.

 

(Depending on your income, your Social Security benefits may not be taxable (or only partially taxable), but they should be reported._
