Did you enter your SSA1099 in the right place?

 

 Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

 

Look on line 6a and 6b of your Form 1040.

 

 

PREVIEW 1040

Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099
