When you have a lump sum covering two previous years plus the current year 2019 do you enter the total from Box 5 of your 2019 SSA-1099 or only the 2019 portion?

You enter the amount that is in box 5 of the SSA-1099.  The TurboTax program will ask if you received a Lump Sum payment.  Indicating Yes will take you through interview section to allocate the lump sum payment.
