It should be on 1040 line 6a.  You probably don't have a taxable amount on 6b.  Depends on your other income.

 

Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately: 0

If you are single and made between $25,000 and $34,000 last year, up to 50% of your Social Security is taxable.  If you made more than $34,000, you'll pay taxes on up to 85% of your Social Security. When you enter all of your income, TurboTax will calculate the taxable portion of your Social Security.  (Half of your Social Security benefits are included in the base.)

 

Refer to the TurboTax articles Is my Social Security income taxable? How does receiving Social Security affect my taxes? and When Does a Senior Citizen on Social Security Stop Filing Taxes?

 

Your Social Security income is on line 6a of your Form 1040 and the taxable amount is on 6b.
