This is still rather confusing, I am trying to determine how Turbo Tax knows if the amount on the SSA-1099 is regular SS income or Disability SS income. In my case, mine is regular SS income, while my wife's is disability SS income, we file jointly. Where in Turbo Tax do I let the program know about the disability aspect of my wife's income? I am using the CD/Download version of TT.
Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are to be entered on a federal tax return. There is nothing on the tax return to differentiate between the types of SS benefits being received since it does not matter.
