Is a 1099 form the same as a 1099-R ?

[rvmielo]

yhe 1099 form I received is from Social Security but does not state that it is a 1099-R.

Social Security is a SSA-1099 not a 1099R.  It goes in a different place.  Be careful to enter it in the right place.

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under

Federal Taxes on the left side or top

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button
