Why do I have to claim my SSI as income when I did the work sheet it said I didn't need to ?

[cglides1901]

I did the worksheet on the SSA-1099 and said my SSI wasn't taxable and that I should put 0 on line 1040 20a how can I adjust my forms

You have to report SSI income, but it will be listed as nontaxable on your tax return.

When you enter your SS income into TurboTax, the program will determine if that amount is taxable. When it is not taxable, the amount will be automatically listed as such on your Form 1040 line 20a. 

You can preview your Form 1040 before you file or before you pay for the program:

1. From My account drop down, select Tools (you must be logged into your tax return and IN your tax return - you may have to select Take to my return or Pick up when I left off orange button)
2. Select View Tax Summary
3. Select Preview my 1040
