There’s no credit for the excess Social Security when you've already had the maximum Social Security withheld. 

 

However, there is a work-around using Forms Mode in TurboTax Desktop.  

  1. Open your return and click the Forms icon in the TurboTax header. 
  2. In the list of Forms in My Return on the left, find 1040/1040SR Wks (usually at the top) .
  3. Click the form name to open it in the large window. 
  4. Scroll down to Schedule 3 Part II and find the Excess Social Security and Tier I RRTA Tax Withheld Smart Worksheet.
  5. Enter the total amount of your credit in the box on Line A.
  6. This amount will be carried over to Form 1040 Line 32.
  7. When you're finished, click Step-by-Step in the header to return to the main screens.
