I have something listed on box 4 on my social security 1099 but turbo tax does not show box 4 listed so I can enter it?

onmy Social Security SSA-1099 I have an amount in Box #4. Turbotax does not have it on their form to enter it in. How do I enter my information in Box #4 on my SSA-1099 form?

Any repayment of benefits you made during 2022 must be subtracted from the gross benefits you received in 2022.Your repayments are shown in box 4. The amount in box 5 shows your net benefits for 2022 (box 3 minus box 4). If you entered your form 1099-SSA in TurboTax, then you would have reported the repayment.

Does that mean there is no way to enter all the boxes? My box 5 has (450) I can not enter the () and feel that it is not calculated properly.

No, you don't need to enter Box 4 of your 1099-SSA.  The amount in Box 5 (that you enter in TurboTax), is the amount in Box 3, minus the amount in Box 4.
