2025 SSA-1099 Update

[Doesitmatter]

When will the Update for entry of 1099-SSA and other 1099 entry be finished?

[DoninGA]

The Form 1099-R section is estimated to be finalized and available in TurboTax on 01/21/2026

The section for entering a Form SSA-1099 is available -

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

[Doesitmatter]

There is NO where to enter this. It keeps saying there are so many tax fixes for 2025 that the 1099 Module is not ready yet. Been using TT for over 20 years and they seem to be getting worse with updates to the new tax laws....

@Doesitmatter It appears that the section for entering a SSA-1099 is missing from the desktop editions for tax year 2025.  I will notify a Moderator.

The 2025 TurboTax online editions -

@Doesitmatter Correction - The 2025 desktop editions do have the section for entering a SSA-1099 available in the Wages & Income section under Retirement Plans and Social Security -

Change in the tax laws is the reason for the delay. Even the IRS website does not have all the forms and instructions or worksheets for 2025 posted.

The first day available to file with the IRS is January 26.

@Doesitmatter  @DC433    If you click on Visit All by Retirement Plans and SS you do get the message - This section will be ready soon.    But you can click on the next line down by Social Security to enter SS. I never use the Visit All button.

The problem has been fixed with today's update.

as of 1/24/2026 after down loading updates the SSa-1099 section still does not work.  In fact it never worked last year. I had to enter the information via the form.  When will this be fixed????

Which operating system, Windows or Mac?

Works fine using the 2025 TurboTax Premier desktop edition for Windows.

Windows 11  When I hit update on ssa-1099 nothing happens.  I never get a window to enter the information.  Same thing happened last year.

Have you tried uninstalling and then-installing the TurboTax program?

Or have you closed the TurboTax program after receiving a software update and then re-booted your computer?

You can also get a manual update using the information in this FAQ - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/manually-update-turbotax...

i restarted my computer and uninstalled and re-installed turbotax.  The SSA-1099 update still does not work.  It simply returns me to the top of the income list.

@ccubed 

You do realize that you must be running the program in administrative mode. Instead of just double clicking the icon, right click it and hit "run as administrator".

[DC433]

@ccubed 

You can change the properties permanently of the shortcut by right clicking it, go to properties, go to the compatibility tab and check the box, 

'run this program as administrator". 

This caveat is explained during the installation that you must run the program in administrative mode.

This is more of a Microsoft Windows 11 compatibility problem than it is the program.
