Forms SSA-1099 report benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
All SSA-1099 forms get entered in the same place:
In TurboTax, search for the term social security benefits and then select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
We'll calculate what portion, if any, of your Social Security benefits are taxable. If your only income is from Social Security, you probably don't make enough money to be required to file a return.

Do not try to enter your SSA1099 or RR1099RB as a W-2. Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
Turbo Tan form does not provide Box 3 to enter the info provide by SSA. Help!!!
Box 5 is equal to the amount in Box 3 minus the amount in Box 4.
So in the normal case (i.e., box 5 is a positive value), that's all you need to enter (well, that and box 6).
Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:
Married Filing Jointly: $32,000
Single or head of household: $25,000
Married Filing Separately: 0
Social Security is on 1040 line 5a and the taxable amount on 5b.
To see the Social Security Benefits Calculation Worksheet in Turbo Tax Online version you would have to save your return with all the worksheets to your computer. Or if you are using the Desktop program you can switch to Forms Mode (click Forms in the upper right) and click on SS in the list on the left side.
When i try to enter the information in the boxes a blue dot appears and the form will not accept the information.
what can i do to override this blue dot business?
If you are using Turbo Tax Online, the most likely reason for buttons that don't work or not being able to enter information is that something in the web browser is not displaying the page properly.
One way around this is to simply use a different web browser. You can select from Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari.
OR, try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies and revisit the 1099-SSA entry page.
