You do not receive a W-2 for Social Security benefits. They mail you a SSA1099 in January every year.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

If you cannot find your SSA1099:

GET SSA1099

If Social Security was your ONLY income you are not required to file a tax return. If you have other income besides the Social Security you might need to file.

Who has to file?
