This still doesn't make any sense, and the answer here is the opposite of what I received from a TurboTax agent today.
Why are Railroad Retirement Benefits bunched in with Social Security benefits? The Help Box states "If you used a Form 8915 to adjust your Railroad Retirement benefits on your federal return, this may impact how much you report on your Georgia tax return." Note that the help box ONLY TALKS ABOUT RAILROADS. Not about regular Social Security benefits.
There is no Form 8915 in my federal return. I've never filled out Railroad anything. I did enter an amount for my husband's Social Security benefits on my federal return, and on my state return found some random amount in the Railroad (???) box. The TurboTax agent told me to zero out the box because Railroads. But now it's Social Security benefits AND Railroads? Randomly bunched in together?
