Entering Social Security benefits with Federal withholding

7 replies

Please tell me how we can enter social security benefits received in screen 14 but not the withholding tax. When the w/h is entered in the 1099 screen it requires a E.I.# of Social Security Administration and they don't have one. Diagnostic prevents e-filing.

Any suggestions - One Lacerte tech told me I needed to paper file but that would involve about 75-100 returns and that can't be right. Needs a fix!

Social security is not on a 1099-misc/nec. The withholding goes in the tax withheld section in the same screen as where you enter the social security income

@scheunemanncpaThat'll trigger a critical diagnostic if you try to e-file. That's why others are complaining and what Intuit's engineers are fixing now.
