Yes, Social Security benefits are only taxable when you have a certain amount of other income on your return. 

 

If you enter your Social Security benefits, the full amount will appear on line 6a and the taxable amount will appear on line 6b. 

 

Here's how to preview your tax return to see the amounts on line 6:

 

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools from the left-side menu, then Tools.
  3. Select View Tax Summary in the pop up box.
  4. Select Preview my 1040 from the left-side menu.
  5. You will see the Form 1040 with Schedules 1, 2 and 3.
  6. When you are done, select Back from the left-side menu.
