I received a RRRB-1099. It shows $21204 received from RRRB in Box 3. Where should that be entered on the IRS form?

An RRB-1099 is entered in the Social Security section of the program.  You only enter the box 5 amount for the benefits received.  Make sure that you check the box Railroad Retirement Benefits (Form RRB-1099)

Or enter social security benefits in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to social security benefits

Or are you referring to a RRB-1099-R for pension income where box 3 is the Employee Contributions.  If so, then follow this procedure -
