Each year i am not getting credit for my Social security for that year. Where on the 1040 do I input this information?

Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are to be entered on a federal tax return. The benefits may be taxable depending on the amount of other income you have entered on your tax return.

However, if the Social Security benefits is the Only income to be reported on the tax return and there is no federal income taxes being withheld, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return..

Unless you also received a Form 1095-A for your health insurance through one of the State Marketplace Exchanges or from healthcare.gov then you must file a tax return.

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

What do you mean by "not getting credit for my Social Security for that year?"   Did you receive a W-2?  Did you enter the amounts of all of the boxes from the W-2?   You do not get a refund for the amount of Social Security that was withheld. 

Or do you mean you received Social Security benefits and did not enter that income?   If you have SS and other income, all of your income including the SS is supposed to be entered.

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

Or---do you mean something else?  Your post is puzzling.
