First---you need to understand the difference between Social Security benefits and SSI----they are not the same thing. When you ask about entering information on a tax return, we have to be clear about what kind of income you have. If you have a SSA1099 -- that is for Social Security; if you are getting "SSI" there is no document issued for that. SSI is not entered anywhere on a tax return.

If you have a W-2 from a job and a SSA1099 from Social Security, both must be entered on your tax return.
Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.
Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
