I have state taxes withheld from my social security. How do I input these into TurboTax? I only see federal withholdings (box 6).

Thank you.

In TurboTax Online, state withholding tax not already entered on a W-2 or 1099 may be entered as follows:

Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click Deductions & Credits.
Click the down arrow to the right of Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
Click to the right of Income Taxes Paid.
Click the down arrow to the right of Other Income Taxes Paid.
Click to the right of Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099.
Click Yes.

JamesG1,

Thanks for your response.

If I go that route I get a message that the state return cannot be filed electronically. Is there a way to have the State withholdings appear in the SSA-1099 input screen?

FYI - I am using TurboTax Premiere on a Windows desktop.

Thanks again.

No, it's so uncommon for state withholding to appear on the SSA-1099 and other documents which is why there is a specific entry to make sure it is included.

It's quite likely the state wants to see the withholding which is why the e-file is prohibited. Be sure to make a copy of your SSA-1099 to send with your state return and keep a copy for yourself.
