Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You need to check 1040 line 6a.  Line 6b is only the taxable amount.  The taxable will change as you enter other income.   Did you enter the SSA-1099 on the screen with 2 columns, one for each spouse?  

Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately: 0

 

To see the Social Security Benefits Calculation Worksheet  in Turbo Tax Online version you would have to save your return with all the worksheets to your computer.   Or if you are using the Desktop CD/Download Software you can switch to Forms Mode (click Forms in the upper right) and click on SS in the list on the left side.
