    It depends. If the Social Security Administration (SSA) shows you received a lump sum.  Below you can see the instructions for using lump sum treatment.

     

    Have all tax returns available for each year included in the lump sum payment. When you enter your SSA-1099 follow the screen prompts to report your lump sum.

     

    This can be handled on your tax return for 2024. The Form SSA-1099 should show a total amount in box 5, and then the amount that is designated for each year in box 3. Worksheet 4 is included after Worksheet 2 is completed for each year.

     

    1. Open your TurboTax Return > Search (upper right) > type ssa1099 > Click the Jump to.... Link
    2. Select Yes you received benefits > Complete your SSA-1099 > Continue > Yes I received at least one lump sum payment for 2023 or earlier > Continue
    3. Type a year from your SSA-1099 > Enter the amount received for that year > Continue
    4. If you received a Form SSA-1099 for the earlier year enter the box 5 amount, if not enter zero or leave it blank > Continue
    5. Enter the filing status for the earlier year > Continue > Select whether you lived with a spouse in the earlier year > Continue >
    6. Enter the information from the earlier year return > Continue > Add another lump sum payment (another year from box 3) if applicable or Click Done
    7. Continue to follow the screens until you are back at the Income Summary page

    Also enter a zero if your Social Security benefits weren't taxable or there were none in the earlier year (such as for a spouse). If you are using the TurboTax Desktop version review the Lump-Sum Social Security Worksheet in Forms.  You can also review 'Earlier Year Lump-Sum Worksheet' for each year.
