Information from SSA-1099 is not entered as a W-2 or in the same section as the W-2.  Use these steps to enter your SSA-1099:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “social security income” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to social security income
  • Click on the blue “Jump to social security income” link and enter your information

 

 

However, if your only income is from Social Security reported on SSA-1099, then you do not need to file a tax return or register for the stimulus payment.  

 

Social Security recipients will automatically receive their stimulus payment in the same account as where the Social Security benefit is deposited.  

 

Take a look at the following for more information:  IRS -- Economic Impact Payments
