10302: SSA-1099 or RRB-1099 - Repayment of SS or RRB Benefits

Net benefits, in box 5 of SSA-1099 or RRB-1099, represent gross benefits (box 3) less repayments (box 4). As long as the amount in box 5 is positive, any repayment in box 4 is included in net benefits and need not be reported separately. Enter the net benefits from box 5 in the Net benefits field of screen SSA.

​Note: If the Taxpayer or Spouse is a Part Year Resident of two or more states, you will need to create additional SSA screens for each of these states, and divide the amounts accordingly, or suppress each additional SSA from Federal calculation.

If the amount in box 5 is negative, total it with other net benefits you have received (and your spouse has received if filing a joint return).

"If the total amount shown in box 5 of all of your Forms SSA-1099 and RRB-1099 is a negative figure, you can take an itemized deduction for the part of this negative figure that represents benefits you included in gross income in an earlier year. If the figure is more than $3,000, you should figure your tax two ways."
