    Go back to My Info and edit your personal information

    Do you mean your SSN that you entered in MY INFO?   Or the amount you entered for SS benefits from a SSA1099?   If you have NOT e-filed you can make changes.

     

    Go to MY INFO to change your own Social Security number

     

    If you entered a SSA1099 incorrectly

     Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter/edit your SSA1099.

    ALWAYS check the information that comes in when you import or snap a photo.  You do not have to start over.  You can just go to that W-2 and fix the SSN by keying it in.
