Was any of your Social Security taxable on federal 1040 line 6b? The taxable amount should be automatically subtracted from the state return. What state? Did you enter the SSA-1099 in the right place? Is it on 1040 line 6a and 6b?
I have the same question. My father passed away in 2023,and I received an SSA-1099 which I reported on lines 6a and 6b of the 1040 and was taxed on it. Then for my Virginia state taxes, there is a question about "Virginia Tax Reduction for Certain Kinds of Death Benefits" as a deduction but it only says "In order to qualify for this Virginia tax reduction, you should have received IRS Form 1099-R from an insurance company. (...) Virginia allows a tax reduction (subtraction) for death benefits you received from an annuity. An annuity is a kind of contract with an insurance company." Neither of these applies to me as the death benefit is from Social Security so it is not a deduction in the sense they are using here?
You do not enter a Social Security form as a 1099R. Is it on an SSA1099?
Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security(SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

Line 6a and 6b are on your 1040 tax return not the W2. Look at your 1040 tax return and see if line 1 is right for wages. Did you get any 1099 forms? Did you get a 1095A for ACA Marketplace health insurance?
On. the 1040 line 37 is for tax due. If your W2 is less than 13,850 you should not owe any tax. Did they take any tax withholding out in W2 box 2? Or any withholding from your SSA-1099?
What lines don't you understand on the 1040? Before filing,You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
