Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, your income is reported in the year you received it. Social Security benefits are treated on a cash-basis, taxable when received. The only social security benefits you have to enter into TurboTax are the benefits that get reported to you on Form SSA-1099. If you do not get that form, you do not enter the benefits on your tax return.
