how do i amend my return?

Did you already e-file?    If you e-filed, you have to wait for the return to be fully processed and then amend to include your SSA1099 for Social Security.

If you have not yet e-filed, then you can still enter the SSA1099:

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

Do not click anything that says "amend" for a return that has not yet been filed.

If you didn't add your Social Security Income you can amend your return.  Wait until your tax return is fully processed and you receive your refund or your balance due is deducted from your account.

Your social security income may not be taxable. It depends on your total income (your social security benefits plus other income) and your filing status.  If your only income is Social Security, generally you don’t have to file a federal tax return. 

If your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) exceeds the base amount for your filing status ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly, all other filing status’ $25,000), at least part of your Social Security income becomes taxable. Your (MAGI) includes half of your Social Security, plus any other income sources. TurboTax will calculate all of this for you. Just enter your income and we’ll determine how much, if any, is taxable.

Many states exclude Social Security from your taxable income.  TurboTax will determine how your state taxes your social security.
