What tax year are you asking about? Did you enter your SSA1099 for 2024 incorrectly? Has the return been processed by the IRS? If so, you will need to amend and enter the correct amount.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
