After you complete entry of the W-2 information, on one of the next screens following will be a screen labeled Let's check for uncommon situations, on that screen check the box labeled Unreported tips

Can I add few tips onto my W-2 income to complete my last year requirement for 4 points social security credit

Yes.  If you have unreported tips, then you will need to include them ALL on your return.  You should start by asking your employer for a corrected W-2 that accurately reports your tips. You cannot just add the amount you need for Social Security, you must add the correct amount.  If your employer does not correct your W-2, you will need to enter your W-2 as it appears on your form and then on the next screen when it asks about uncommon situations, select "Unreported Tips"

 

How do I enter unreported tips?
