1. Go to the Wages & Income section.
2. Select I'll choose what I work on when asked how you want to enter income.
3. Scroll to Retirement Plans and Social Security.
4. Select Start or Update next to Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099).
5. Answer "Yes" to receiving Social Security benefits.
6. Enter the amounts exactly as they appear on your SSA-1099.
