Can't enter Social Security Benefits. Tried new browser. I choose edit, it takes me to the "did you receive" screen, I type "yes", "continue" then it goes right back .

Goes right back to the wages

  4. Select yes to the question Did you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits in 2020?
  5. Select the type of 1099 you received.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the information.
