State tax filing

Does wife receive any SS benefits?  If not, then yes, leave this as $0.

 

Change the prepopulated amount to $0 if all of the benefits were disability.  TurboTax has no way to know that the 1099-SSA you received is for disability benefits and not regular social security. Then enter the full amount as disability if everything he received was SS disability.  If he had disability for part of the year and then converted to Social Security, then you would enter the amount received for the months he had as disability as the disability and then the rest as regular social security.
