I already input my social security backpay (it went directly to my long term disability company) in prev year. It’s asking again if I have a lump sum. Do I mark no? Thx

I had three years of back pay- paid in 2020. I didn’t keep any of the money. I marked no on last years return. Now I’m worrying I did it wrong. 😩 Thanks.

The software is always going to ask if you received a lump sum. That is one of the routine questions in the interview. If you did not receive a lump sum in 2024, then say NO to that and keep going. Just enter the income you received in 2024.
