The information from a SSA1099 is entered by the user---it cannot be imported.   If you have a big error in the amount entered for your Social Security benefits, that was your own user error.   And....what are you using to enter the information at this time----Social Security will be mailing you a SSA1099 for tax year 2025 in January.

Hopefully, you are talking about the 2025 taxes that you/some people have recently just started working on for submission in early 2026....If you are using the "Online" software, you could use the "Clear and Start Over" procedure to clear everything out of the current file you are working on:

How do I clear and start over?

If you do restart that way, be very careful in your entries.  Don't accidentally enter a comma where a decimal point is intended....and if you uploaded a picture of a form, that could be the problem...many times, entering data manually is more accurate than uploading a form's picture.....you probably don't have any 2025 tax forms yet anyhow, as they usually are  not issued until Jan-February.

@cindywiley   What year?  What income line on the 1040 is wrong and has 5 million instead of 5 thousand?  Was it an amount you typed in or was it imported wrong?    Did it get filed to the IRS wrong?  Do you need to amend a prior year return?
