When you enter your social security benefits there is a box for federal withholding.

Where do I enter my social security?

If you have state withholding you must enter it using the steps below.

Sign into your TurboTax account - TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop > once inside the return select Deductions and Credits
Scroll to Estimate and Other Taxes Paid > Show More > Start/Revisit beside Income Taxes Paid > Scroll to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2024
Continue to Start Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099

This will allow state additional withholding not entered in any other location.
