Some or none of social security may be taxable depending on the total income for the recipient. The form 1099-SSA information needs to be entered and TurboTax will do the calculations to determine the level of taxation, if any for those benefits.
Generally, if 1/2 of social security added to the rest of his income totals below $25,000 then none of social security is taxable. If the total is between $25,000 and 34,000 then up to 50% will be taxable. If the total is over $34,000 then up to 85% will be taxable.
Also, yes all W2 income and forms need to be included on the schedule W.
