Can I edit 1040, my ssa 1099 was not added and I can't go back and find it to add it?

if you have filed the 2022 tax return it cannot be retrieved or changed.  You have to wait for the IRS to either accept or reject the tax return.

If rejected then you can make your changes and e-file again.

 

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
  • On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099

 

If the IRS accepts the tax return then you have to wait for the IRS to issue the federal refund or if taxes were owed for the taxes to be paid and processed.

Then you will have to amend the tax return that was filed to add the SSA-1099.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

If you have NOT filed:

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

 

 

If you already filed and your return is in pending

 

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending.On January  23 the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   Watch your emails—including your spam folder—for the notice about whether your e-file has been accepted or rejected.  If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix any mistakes or omissions.  It has been taking the IRS six to nine months—sometimes longer—to process amended returns.   If you e-filed your state return there will be another email later that tells you if the state was accepted or rejected.

 

WARNING:   Do not try to change anything on your return while it is pending.
