Are you filing a Joint return? His Social Security might be taxable depending on the other income. Is this his first year getting ss?
There are 2 different things to know about social security. People get them mixed up all the time.
1. Your actual SS checks
If you are over full retirement age your actual ss checks won't be reduced. Otherwise they will actually reduce your payments if you make too much other income in the prior year. See SS FAQ for working after retirement
Social security income should be inputted. The program will subtract nontaxable Social Security from income. If any of it should be taxed, it will be included. It does need to be reported on your tax return in the nontaxable column.
