Your answer does not work for me. I do not see a tax withheld box when I get the questions about my social security income. I do not see a box to enter the amount of taxes withheld. Could it be because I did not have to pay any taxes so it skips over the taxes withheld box? I did not know whether I would have to pay taxes on my social security income so I opted to have 10% withheld. It turned out that I do not owe any taxes on the SS income. Let me ask a pointed question. Why would you fail to include a SSA 1099 form for us to fill in? I liked the way you always did it before, i.e. fill in the amount shown in box 6.
