SSDI inputting into TurboTax

[Don120]

I was wondering when inputting my SSDI amount into TurboTax, do I put the full amount or do I just put the amount being Taxed?

You enter the amount from box 5 of the SSA-1099. 

The TurboTax software will calculate the amount of the benefit reported that is taxable.

Up to 85% of Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits 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
