No, you do not enter the Social Security payments that you received on a W-2. Social Security benefits are not wages. You should have gotten a Form SSA-1099 showing the Social Security benefits that you received. See the FAQ at the following link for instructions to enter your SSA-1099 in TurboTax.


Where do I enter an SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM, or SSA-1099-R-OP1?
