    Box 4 of the Form SSA-1099 is not entered on a tax return.  Only the amount of box 5 is entered, which is the Net of box 3 minus box 4.

     

    To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

    • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
    • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    • Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
    • On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

    Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099
