Do I post the numbers from my SS COLA?

I have a Notice of Cost of Living Adjustment. Do I put these amounts anywhere in my tax filing?

No, that is not entered anywhere on a tax return.  You only have to enter the SSA-1099 and the amount from box 5 from the form.

No.   If you are receiving Social Security benefits the only thing you enter is the SSA1099 that was mailed to you in January.   If you do not have the SSA1099 you need to get that:

 

GET SSA1099

 Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
