Turbo tax won't let me re-enter social security income. How do I re- enter 1099 SSA?

[piffkerry]

I apparently made an error the first time I entered the information, so was trying to 'start over' by deleting the form and starting over. Now TT won't let me enter anything.

Here is the best way to get to this area in TurboTax:

1.  Open (continue) your return, if you're not already in it.
2. In TurboTax, search (upper right magnifying glass) for "1099 SSA" and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

@jack Gross Try this - Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

If that does not work, please try clearing your cache and cookies. Then reboot and log back in and then see if it will allow you to use the search option.

Where do I enter an SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM, or SSA-1099-R-OP1?

Home Business Turbo Tax 2021 won't format the EIN or social security number in form 1099 even after updating the current version. The software has a bug and needs to be fixed,

When entering the EIN and the social security of the employee on form 1099, the software could not format the EIN together, it takes the number but putting the space between the numbers. After trying many times, the software asking to re-enter the number then the system prompts the error in EIN. You just need to fill out the form 1099 by yourself and you will see the bug.

In form 1099, after entering the social security number of contractor, the system asks entering the social security again for confirmation, the software makes space between numbers therefore the input is incorrect. Could not re-enter the social security number for new employee

Are you trying to enter a 1099-SSA to report Social Security Income?  If so, enter the recipient's Social Security Number; there is no EIN to be entered.

Or, are you trying to prepare a 1099-Misc/1099-NEC for a contractor or employee?

It seems that you didn’t look at the entire thread.   I am having the same issue. 

when entering info for a 1099 nec form, at the SSN prompt, when you type numbers it places them in the wrong place and won’t let me renter the number either.  I’ve tried to relocate the cursor with the arrow keys but this isn’t working either.

@CoVa   You're tagging on to a thread about entering social security benefits (SSA-1099), but you're asking about a 1099-NEC.  

You should start a new thread or contact TT support.

It won’t let me either in the 2021 version.  Haven’t found anyone in support who can tell me how to fix it.  

[FangxiaL]

Please clarify: which form are you trying to enter or re-enter, SSA-1099 (Social Security income) or 1099-NEC (self-employment income)?
