Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since you stated that you did not receive any Social Security income in 2024, then this number should be zero.

 

You can also go back to the Social Security entry area in TurboTax.  Your SS benefits for 2025 will be on the first page.  The next page is about being a US citizen living abroad.

 

The page after that will be your lump-sum payment info summary.  It should say your lump-sum amount for 2024 from your 2025 SSA-1099.  Your earlier year benefits should be zero since you did not receive SS benefits in 2024.  You can also edit your entry here, with the first page being the year of the payment (2024), with the next page as the amount of the 2024 lump sum payment.  The next screen is the amount in box 5 of your 2024 Form SSA-1099 which will be zero for you - you may have entered the box 5 amount of your 2025 SSA-1099 here by mistake.
