In what box do I put my social security and my church contributions total

[aletawilliams9910]

Do I add my total net income from my social security with my wages from my work?

You do not put everything in one "box".   The things you mention all must be entered separately into the software.

ALL of your 2024 W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  

Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

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

Donations to your church are charity donations.

Federal>Deductions and Credits>Charitable Donations>Donations to Charity

Entering Social Security and Church Contributions in TurboTax

Social Security Income

1. Where to Enter: In TurboTax, enter your Social Security income in the Retirement Plans and Social Security section.
   • Steps:
     • Open or continue your return.
     • Navigate to the Social Security benefits section:
       • Use the search bar (magnifying glass icon) and type "Social Security benefits". Click on the Jump to Social Security benefits link.
     • On the screen Did you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits in 2024?, answer Yes and select Continue.
     • On the next screen, check the box beside Social Security benefits (Form SSA-1099), then enter the amounts from your form(s) in the boxes provided.
     • If you received multiple SSA-1099s, add up the amounts for each box and enter them together.
     • Don't include SSA-1099s for dependents. Those should be reported on the dependent's return, but only if they are required to file a return (this is uncommon).
     • Select Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

Enter Wages:

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Go to W-2.
3. Select Work on my W-2 and Continue.
   • If you've already entered a W-2 or need to add another one, select Add a W-2.
4. Enter your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from Box b on your W-2.
   • If your W-2 can be imported, you'll come to the Great news! We can automatically import your W-2 info screen. Answer the questions to complete your import.
   • If TurboTax doesn't recognize your EIN you can use the TurboTax mobile app to snap a photo of your W-2, upload it from your computer, or fill it in yourself.

Church Contributions

1. Where to Enter: Enter your church contributions in the Charitable Donations section.
   • Steps:
     • Open or continue your return.
     • Navigate to Donations to Charitable Organizations:
       • Use the search bar (magnifying glass icon) and type "charitable donation". Click on the Jump to charitable donation link.
     • Select the Yes button to answer the question: Did you make any donations to charity in 2024?
     • If you have an account with ItsDeductible, select Yes to begin the process of importing your donation information; if you select No, continue to the next step.
     • Follow the onscreen instructions to finish entering your donations.
