    If it's asking for an EIN number you are entering it in the wrong place. There is no EIN on social security SSA-1099.


    Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under

    Federal Taxes (Personal for Home&Business)

    Wages and Income

    Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

    Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button

    If you received a Form SSA-1099 for your Social Security benefits, that is Not entered as a W-2.

     

    To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

    Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
    Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
    On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

     

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