Drake Tax - 1040: Literal D for SS Benefits Income

How to get the letter "D" inserted on the line of the return where social security benefit income is reported

You're referring to a statement at the top of the social security benefits worksheet in the 1040 and 1040A instructions.

On a 1040 return, line 6a (line 5a in Drake19; line 5b in Drake18; line 20b, or 1040A return, line 14b in Drake17 and prior), the software inserts the literal "D" when these conditions are met:

• The taxpayer's filing status is 3 (married filing separately).

• Taxpayer did not live with the spouse even 1 day during the year is selected on screen 1 from the Taxpayer did not live with spouse drop list.

• Screen SSA has been entered.
