Can I use turbo tax if my only income in 2018 is from Social Security Benefits and I'm married filing separately and have lived apart all of 2018 ?

My SSA-1099 states my income for 2018 was only $12504. which turbo tax plan should I use for married filing separately.

Generally speaking, if your only income is Social Security, you probably don't make enough money to be required to file a federal tax return.

To determine if your Social Security income is taxable, all you need to do is enter that income. TurboTax does the rest!
