A SSA-1099 includes an amount for “Treasury Benefit Payment Offset, Garnishment and/or Tax Levy” Do I need to include this in the tax return? If so, where?
 

I think it may be due to taxes he owed from previous years.

Thank you for your help... Ky

    Doesn't get entered anywhere on the return.

    Its the same as if they paid the bill themselves, so unless what that money was taken for would be a deduction had they paid it themselves, its not entered anywhere.

    The gross amount of benefits paid, in the salmon-colored box in the upper right corner, is the amount you report as Social Security benefits.  The amount garnished (usually 15%) is irrelevant.  For example, if $20,000 was paid and $3,000 taken by the IRS levy, you would report the $20,000.
