artp Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Client (husband) passed away in Dec 2023. He received 2 SSA-1099s. One showed $1919 in box 4 (benefits repaid) and $23,087.80 in box 5.The 2nd one showed $25,006.80 nothing in box 4. I am assuming that the correct amount to report is the net amount as shown on the first one, $23,087.80. But I am concerned how the IRS is going to handled this. I do not see anywhere in my tax software (Drake) to enter the amount in box 4. Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 There should be a date in the top right corner for the second, correct form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those details run and hide until you ask for help, at which point they come out of hiding as if they had been there all along. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Such as clients who are starting to receive corrected 1099's with a different code or taxable amount and they have no idea what it is. (But, it was due by January 31)! Of course, it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
