Just finished my simple Turbo Tax form and noticed the math is totally wrong. For some reason my Social Security benefit amount is being left out.

I also cleared the form and re-entered the info but it still left it out

Where did you enter your SSA1099?   Did you enter it correctly?

 

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

 

To see how much of your Social Security was taxable, look at lines 6a and 6b of your 2021 Form 1040

It is possible that it is included, just not as taxable income. Look at your 1040. Social Security benefits are found on Lines 6a and 6b.

 

In order to preview your return, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click on Tax Tools.
  3. Click on Tools.
  4. Click on View Tax Summary under Other helpful links.
  5. Click on Preview my 1040.

Is the amount on line 6a but no taxable amount on 6b?

 

Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately: 0

 

To see the Social Security Benefits Calculation Worksheet  in Turbo Tax Online version you would have to save your return with all the worksheets to your computer.   Or if you are using the Desktop CD/Download Software you can switch to Forms Mode (click Forms in the upper right) and click on SS in the list on the left side.
