Am i entering Social Security in the wrong section of Turbo Tax?  TT asks for distribution information for 1099-R.  If I place Social Security in the same section as 1099-Rs i am asked for distribution, from box 7 of the 1099.  Box 7 on the Social Security 1099 does not have this information (box 7 is my name and address).

Do not try to enter your SSA1099 as a W-2.  Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security to enter your SSA1099.

You're trying to enter it in the 1099-R section instead of the SSA-1099 section.

Use this pathway: Federal Taxes > Wages & Income > Retirement Plans & Social Security > Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099).  Then follow the prompts.
