Taxable Social Security benefit in 2024 - This is my question.  Do I enter $16,632 or do I enter $0?  It says enter zero if your social security benefits weren't taxable but not sure how to answer.

 

TurboTax software wants you to enter the taxable Social Security benefit that was reported on the 2024 income tax return that has already been filed.

 

If you had not received any Social Security benefit prior to the 2025 lump sum payment, you would report $0.
