The Form RRB-1099 can be confusing.  Some of the boxes are not labeled well.  There are two pages on the form.  The information that you need is on the second page.

 

The first box Taxpayer's Social Security Benefits

The second is Taxpayer's Federal Tax Withheld

And third Taxpayer's Medicare Premium

 

On the input page for Social security there is a page (Tell us about the benefits you received)  and an option to check 

   Railroad Retirement benefits (Form RRB-1099)

 

Once you check that box you will see where to enter the information above.
