Lump sum Social security payment

[2old2kr]

I received a lump sum social security payment covering 2017 and 2018. How can I enter this as TT only provides for one year lump sum.?

Type 'SSA1099' in the Search window, then 'Jump to SSA1099' to get started.

• Enter the info from your SSA-1099 into TurboTax and Continue
• The next screen asks if you had any 'lump sum payments'; say Yes and Continue
• Enter the first lump-sum payment year and amount
• Click on 'Add Another Lump Sum Payment' until you have entered all the years shown on your 1099.
• If the Year is not designated prior to 2015, you could use 2014. 
• You will not be taxed on the lump-sum payments in 2019
• You will not need to go back and Amend any prior-year returns

You can enter Lump Sum Payments from 1984 through 2018.  Enter $0  if your Social Security income was not taxable for the years you received the Lump Sum Payments, and enter $0 if no Adjustments were made on those years.
