Social Security income not marked as taxable

[rbsorensen]

My wife and I both have social security income but Turbotax H&B is not including it as taxable 

Not sure why.

(edited)   Ahhh...didn't notice that half of 6a was over 32,000.

Maybe run a software update? 

One was released mid-day on 10 Feb.

With Desktop Premier, and 68,000 in 6a I get 1,000 in 6b.  (no other income at all in test file)

Any chance some of that $68,508 was catch-up payments for a prior year?  If so, those might be treated differently.....but I wouldn't know the details on that how situation would be treated.

A 3,000 loss on line 7 of the form 1040 would do it. That drops you below the minimum where part of 6a gets taxed.   (or...If you have a net loss for Self Employment income, I'm not sure how that might play into it, if at all)

Check your Social Security Benefits worksheet in Forms Mode.....that shows what's happening to cause 6b to be a zero.

If a loss on line 7 of the 1040 is causing the 6b to be zero......or the SS Benefits worksheet clarifies why 6b is zero, then you can go ahead and continue entering your data.  6b may start changing as you work on it.
