Does social security survivor benefits from my deceased husband under twelve thousand have to be reported? i worked & made 54k...

Yes if you got a SSA-1099 with your ssn on it you have to enter it.  It may be taxable.

Try going to the search box at the top and type in Social Security Benefits.  That will give you a Jump To link to take you directly to it.

OR Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099
Federal on left
Wages and Income at top
Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Review button

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
