Yes, it's a lump-sum payment for 2024. Wait to enter it in TurboTax until you get the Form SSA-1099 showing the payment.

Are you asking about a payment resulting from the Fairness Act? You received a lump sum in 2025, but a large chunk of that was a retroactive payment for 2024. The amount will be shown on the SSA1099 that will be mailed to you by Social Security soon.
