No, do not omit any amount reported in the 1099 SSA. WEP payments are taxable Social Security payments. If your husband’s Social Security was reduced in the past because he had a “non-covered” government pension, like a teacher or police pension, those reductions ended in January 2024.
Since the law applied retroactively to January 1, 2024, many people received a large lump-sum payment in 2025 or 2026 to pay back the amount that was previously withheld.
