If there is no employer's ID number on my Social Security W2, what do I put for that number?

You do not enter Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 in the section for wages reported on a W-2.  Delete any W-2 you entered with the SS benefits.

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
• On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

Or enter social security benefits in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to social security benefits
