Social Security benefits have their own section in TurboTax.

  • Type ssa-1099 in Search in the upper right
  • Select Jump to ssa-1099
  • Say YES to Did you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits in 2020?
  • Check Social Security benefits
  • Enter your information as it appears on your Form SSA-1099. TurboTax will carry your Medicare information to medical expenses

Social Security is on the line below 1099R Pension.

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099  under

Federal Taxes on the left side or top

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit  button

 

2020 1040 line 6a is the gross Social Security amount and 6b is the taxable part of Social Security.

 

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
