amend taxability of Social Security

[wkbinpa]

I inadvertently hit the button on the top of my social security input page which did not tax any of the social security.  I didn't catch the error and e-filed the 2024 return and now must amend.  Going through the step-by- step amendment options it does not offer any adjustments to the social security income.  How do I change the SS payments to the normal taxability in the amended return?

The Social Security benefits are taxable based on the amount of other income entered on your tax return.  TurboTax does this automatically.  There is no user input on the taxable amount of the SS benefits.

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
