You cannot "upload" a SSA1099.  You key it in by hand.

 

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

A SSA-1099 cannot be uploaded to your tax return.  It has to be entered manually.

 

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

I have uploaded the information from my SSA form 1099. Disability when trying to transmit it takes me to section C line2Y. It indicates the amount of money distributed 27649 However it tells me it cant be more than I cant enter more than the amount of 22771.00 reported on my federal tax form. I ve checked it several tiimes and the amount entered is the amount given on the form 1099 27648.  I cannot efile until this is resolved.

This is either an incompetent or lazy response. If we had SSA1099 in the drop down menu, we would USE it. I'm making my 2nd call because someone told me to use 1099SA! That form has nothing to do with retirement!

What type of income do you have?  The SSA-1099 is for social security benefits. The 1099-SA is for 1099-SA, Distributions From an HSA, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA.

 

IF you are trying to enter social security benefits, then you would enter in the retirement section under the social security where it says SSA-1099.

 

If you are trying to enter other retirement benefits such as a Pension or 401K withdraw, you would enter this in the retirement section where it says 1099-R Pension, 401K's, etc.

 

Whichever form you have in hand, look for that form on the list or use the jump to feature in the search bar.  To do this type in your form name and hit search, then click Jump To.

The last step does not work.  Clicking on Start or Update for 1099-SSA does not do anything.  The screen blinks and one is back looking at the entire overview of Wages & Income

You should be able to select the 1099-SSA and enter your form.  Try these steps depending on your online or desktop choice.

A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

Online version:

  1. Log out of your return and try one or more of the following:
    • Don't use Internet Explorer.
    • Clear cache and cookies,
    • Sign in using a different browser.
    • Sign in using a different device.
  2. Log back into your return.
    • Enter the information 

Desktop version: 

  1. Save your return while closing the program.
  2. Update the program
  3. Open
  4. Enter the information

No one can call you from this forum, but you can Contact Support via that link.  @Ma1234  

 

Most tax forms need to be manually entered.   See this TurboTax FAQ for tips on importing 1099s.
