Line 6B of form 1040

dborowicz · ‎February 22, 2023

Is line 6B of form 1040 the amount of social security that is taxable? That I can use as a credit on my Ohio tax form?

Yes, line 6B is the taxable part of your Social Security benefits. This amount appears on line 1 of the Ohio Schedule of Adjustments.

You should not have to enter this into your Ohio return, because TurboTax knows this amount and should plug it in automatically.

Ohio refers to your Social Security benefits in a few other places, so does this cover what you need?

Thank you.

What other areas does the state use social security?
