Retirement tax questions
@dendarstrand When you use do-it-yourself tax software it is your responsibility to check your own return to make sure you entered all of your income. TurboTax cannot check to make sure you entered it all or check outside sources for you to see if it was entered correctly without typos.
When you are entering income, you have a choice to let the software "Walk me through everything" or "I'll choose what I work on." If you choose "Walk me through everything" then it will eventually take you to a screen that asks if you had any Social Security. If you skipped around then you cannot expect TT to know you had a SSA1099.
So....you did check and discovered that your SS was not entered. But you checked after you e-filed. The return can be fixed. You will amend it using a 1040X after it has been processed.
