My 1099 from social security has a block 4 amount but there isn't a field on TurboTax to enter it. what do I do?

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

You only enter the amount from box 5 of the SSA-1099 on your tax return.

Box 5 is the result of box 3 minus box 4.

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button
