My social security records don’t have my 2020 earnings even IRS has.

Since I did my 2020 taxes with TurboTax application, could you please submit my numbers to Social Security Administration?

I would be greatly appreciate you.

Regards,

TT cannot do that.  If you were employed, your employer submits it to the SSA.  If you are self-employed, the IRS does that.  It is not unusual for this to take several months, or even up to a year.  Per the Social Security Admin:


If the earnings missing from your Social Security record
are for the current year or last year, you don’t need to
worry. Because these earnings are recent, we may
not have recorded them yet. They should appear on a
later Statement.

FYI ... your TAX RETURN has nothing to do with reporting your wages to the SS Administration.   They get it directly off  the W-3 & W-2 forms that are filed by the employer directly to SS  and then that info is forwarded to the IRS for comparison with your return.   The posting of the W-2 info can take months especially if the employer mailed in the forms.     If you want to make sure they got sent then check with your employer.
