Where do I put my SSI DISABILITY payments on my tax form?

Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are to be entered on a federal tax return. The benefits may be taxable depending on the amount of other income you have entered on your tax return.
However, if the Social Security benefits are the Only income to be reported on the tax return, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return.

 

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 ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099

Where do I put my SSI DISABILITY payments on my tax form?

Do you get SSI (Supplemental Security Income) disability payments or do you get Social Security disability benefits? They're not the same thing. SSI is not taxable and there is no place to report it on a tax return. You do not get a Form SSA-1099 for SSI. If you got an SSA-1099, that's Social Security, not SSI. Follow the instructions that DoninGA gave you to enter your SSA-1099 in TurboTax.
