Please try asking your question again.  You have some typos and it does not make sense.

I am assuming you are asking about whether your Social Security benefits are taxable. If this is not your question, please clarify by providing more detail. 

 

If you are not seeing your Social Security income added to your tax return, it may be that is not taxable, or it may be that you didn't enter it in the right place. 

 

Here is the correct place to enter your Social Security benefit in TurboTax:

 

  1. Select Federal on the left side menu.
  2. Select Wages and Income.
  3. Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security, expand the section. 
  4. Click Start or Revisit to the right of Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099).
  5. Enter your information on the next screens. If you are filing a joint tax return, you will see two column, one for you and one for your spouse.

 

Social Security is never 100% taxable and depending on your other income, it may not be taxable at all. Your full Social Security benefit shows on line 6a and the portion that is taxable shows on line 6b on the first page of your 1040 or 1040-SR form. 

 

If you are looking for tax credits based on your Social Security benefit, there have been some changes since last year. Last year, you could qualify for both the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Credit based on a Social Security benefit. For this year, you must have earned income (wages or self employment income) to get these credits.
