Earlier year lump-sum social security worksheet 1040 line

[user17546972723]

Error checking of my return shows an error in the 1040 Line 6 "Earlier Year Lump-Sum Social Security Worksheet", Line D. It asks for the taxable social security benefits reported in an earlier year. I have a lump sum distribution for 2024. If I enter the taxable amount reported in the earlier year, the error is that "Earlier year taxable social security benefits for taxpayer should not be greater than zero". So am I supposed to enter a NEGATIVE value here? Confusing.

Never mind, I figured it out, I did not have the proper amoutn in line B. Updating that fixed the issue
