Retirement tax questions
Yes, I am asking about soc sec income received by my spouse and myself. I need to enter it in order to complete my 1040, etc. using TurboTax on my laptop. I have been using TurboTax for years - and for the more recent years, I have had to include our soc sec income, Medicare deductions, etc. This is the first time that I have had a problem.
The problem occurs when entering in the step-by-step mode, not forms. Yes, it's the screen with 2 columns, one for my info and one for my spouse. Yes, I entered "the SS in the right place". I was able to enter the Box 5 (Net Benefits) and Box 6 (Fed Tax Withheld) but not Medicare Part B Premium amount - and I could not enter anything for my spouse. If I switch to forms mode, I am able to enter all required soc sec data for each of us. If I then go back to step-by-step mode, I can see my entries and edit them if I choose to.
BTW, I do not have to "wait until (I) get the SSA-1099" for each of us. I already have them. I know that our soc sec income if not fully taxable and hopefully so does TurboTax 🙂
Thanks.
