Question

WE completed the federal part of turbo tax. How can we include social security and social security taxes?

There was no where to report social Security income and taxes paid on turbo tax. Where do we report it?

Employee

Social Security taxes withheld from wages are not entered on a tax return.

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099

Employee

Enter the SSA-1099 here:

Federal > Wages and Income > Retirement > Social Security.

i have completed the federal taxes and nowhere was i asked about my Social Security income. Shouldnt that be included?

Employee

Don't wait for it to ask, navigate as suggested above your post, you need to enter that SSA-1099

.......and there IS a place on the Wages&Income page to enter it.

(Unless you are still somehow stuck in the (mostly useless) Guide Me interview)
