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

 

 

When you enter your SSA1099 you will be able to enter the federal tax withheld from your benefits in box 6,

When you enter your social security benefits there is a box for federal withholding.

If you have state withholding you must enter it using the steps below.

  1. Sign into your TurboTax account - TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop > once inside the return select Deductions and Credits
  2. Scroll to Estimate and Other Taxes Paid > Show More > Start/Revisit beside Income Taxes Paid > Scroll to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2024
  3. Continue to Start Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099

This will allow state additional withholding not entered in any other location.
