I am having the same problem with Turbotax Online 2021.

See if the SSA-1099 appears in your list of forms.  If it does, delete it and reenter the information.

If you want to delete an individual form, please follow these instructions:

1. While in your return, click on Tax Tools > Tools (in the black bar at the side of your screen).  
2. In the Tools Center, under Other helpful links click on Delete a form.
3. Click Delete next to the form you want to delete and follow the onscreen instructions. 
4. Once you have finished deleting the desired form(s) click the Continue with My Return box (in the lower right of your screen).

TurboTax CD/Download

1. Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar. 
2. In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click on the form you wish to open and delete.
3. Click on the Delete Form box at the bottom of the screen.
4. To return to the interview, click on the Step-By-Step icon in the top right of the blue bar.  

If you are still experiencing difficulty, you can call TurboTax and speak with an agent.  TurboTax customer service/support does not have a single phone number but has many different phone numbers based on the type of platform used.  So that we can direct your call to the best person/department to help you:

1. Click on this link:  https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
2. Select your TurboTax platform.  
3. Ask your question / state your problem.  Do NOT use the word "refund' or you will get a phone number for tax refunds.
4. Click Submit.
5. On the next screen, choose the Call option and follow the instructions.  You will be given the approximate wait time.  

You'll get a toll-free number to a TurboTax expert who is specially-trained to handle your particular issue.​​​​​​​

I am having the same problem with the 2021 download.  I was able to information for my 1099-G but unable to enter information for SSA-1099.  Please help!

Please click the link below for help entering your information for SSA-1099.  If you are still having difficulty after following these steps, please reply to this thread for further assistance.

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

The answer was NOT helpful.  When I click on "update" SSA-1099 on my download version of 2021 Turbo Tax the page goes blank -- no way to enter / edit any data.  On the other hand, in contrast if I click on "update" on for the 1099-G the page allows me to edit / enter the data for that category.  Please help.

@MikeGitt Please try using a different internet browser.

SweetieJean,

Thanks for your reply but let me restate I am using a 2021 download version of Premier TurboTax.  I don't think the browser comes into play although I use Google Chrome.  The issue appears to be a software issue since all the other "income" updates work properly just not SSA-1099.

Using 2021 turbo tax and I cannot get to the page to enter SS earnings. It bounces me back to menu page. Anyone know how to get to the page to enter SS wages.

@DoninGA  I've seen several questions for not being able to enter ss in the Desktop program.   My Home & Business worked ok.  Has anyone asked the mod about it?  Might need to escalate it.

I have entered in my Premier desktop edition without issue.  Also entered in my test Self-Employed online edition without issue.  So this has to be a local problem with the user.

Best to point the user to Support if they cannot get it to work on their local PC.

Resolved the issue of not being able to see the templates or enter info on the W-2 screen and the SSA-1099 screen.  Working with tech support at TurboTax the issue was solved by turning off my firewall (McAfee).  Once again, I was using TurboTax Premier (download not on-line).  By turning off the firewall then the templates for both W-2 and SSA-1099 became visible and then I entered the information.  Once the information was entered I was able to turn-on the firewall and everything seemed to continue to work properly.  Hopefully this is helpful for anyone else who has this issue.  Not sure what changed this year in that I have had McAfee for 3 years and have used TurboTax for many more years.  First year I have had an issue with TurboTax software.  Once again, thanks to TurboTax tech services!

The only way around not being able to enter critical information, like social security earnings, I have found, is to go into edit, add supporting documentation, and enter it there.  The amounts then filter to the line item on the tax return.  Hope this helps

I am not able to enter any data related to form SSA-1099.   I need to complete taxes ASAP.   TurboTax Delux is what I purchased 

Are you using the Desktop program?  Some people are having trouble entering into box 5.  See if this helps.

Are you running the TurboTax application as an Administrator?  If not -

Save the tax return.

Close the TurboTax program

Right click on the TurboTax icon on your computer screen

Click on Run as Administrator

Start the TurboTax program and see if the problem persists

Did that. Same thing happened. But then... I accidentally double-clicked the box. And it opened up a small windows that let me fix it. Then the same thing happened with the Part B premium box. Double-clicking fixed that.

Please all users RUN AS ADMINSTRATOR by right clicking on the turbotax icon to start program in adminstrator mode, as this post recommends.
