Your Form W2 box 1 wages amount already includes any amount reported in box 7 for social security tips.  Box 7 amounts don't get entered in addition to your box 1 wages on your Form 1040EZ.  If you don't have any pre-tax benefits, then box 3 for social security wages plus box 7 for social security tips should equal box 1.
