If Social Security was your only income you are not required to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.   There is no Payer ID for a SSA1099.  You are trying to enter it in the wrong place.      Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.  

Here's how: From the Left side menu select Tax Tools choose "Tools" pop up screen "Tools Center" select "Topic List"  Your Deductions & Credits "Tax Breaks"  scroll down to "Import ItsDeductible Online". TurboTax is working to improve the process, but in the meantime, please only use alphabet letters and spaces in your ItsDeductible descriptions. Removing any special characters, including quotes, apostrophes, etc. will allow for a successful import.

Thank you so much for the reply.  Still confused (maybe) on the issue. Ga income does show as $0.  GA refund shows $7200 GA requires that I input the $240k sale/$7200 withheld that was provided on GA Form G2-RP on Form 500 page 3 (Income Statement Details) I did not include the withholding of GA taxes on my federal return.  Do I need to amend my Fed taxes or is it ok leave it off?  I put the info (Other Income Taxes Paid in 2024) in as you suggested and it does not change anything on Fed or GA returns.  That's why I left it off - I don't want credit for the GA taxes paid. I do not get a GA Sch 1 (whether I put the withholding on my Fed return or not).  I also don't itemize my Fed return.  The GA Sch 3 does not show any info reference the sale of inherited house. Thank you again for the insight and help.

The "U" may stand for union dues, but you would have to look on your paystub to get a better clue as to what it stands for. It likely will not affect your tax calculation though, as the entries in box 14 are more for your information than critical to your tax return entries. You can ask you employer for clarification.

Online version: Delete the form/ worksheet- if possible, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again.
