The Medicare premiums on lines C, D, and E are <EM>not</EM> added into line 1. Line 1 is just line A plus line F. (Line 1 says "Add amounts from line A <EM>and</EM> line F," <EM>not</EM> "line A <EM>through</EM> line F.") If you don't have an RRB-1099, line 1 is equal to the amount in SSA-1099 box 5. Nothing is added.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 31 Aug 2020 15:31:33 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/re-isn-t-there-a-problem-with-the-social-security-benefits-worksheet-line-a-from-box-5-already/01/1714774#M111549 rjs 2020-08-31T15:31:33Z Re: Isn't there a problem with the Social Security Benefits Worksheet?
