SSA 1099SM

birdieman1947 — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 19:39:49 GMT

I received a my Soc1099SM form but box 6 does not show the amount I paid quarterly. Where do I place the amount, I actually paid as I sent them payments in 2025 for estimated taxes. Is there an additional form I should get from SS or just place the amount in box 6 even though my form doesn't show any amount.

Thanks

You paid quarterly estimated tax? That is not going to show up on your SSA1099; if you were having federal tax withheld each month from your SS, it will show up in box 6.

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes
