Form 1040 Wkst 9 information for withholding from SS Rail road Tier 1 benefits will not populate the information from the 1099R and leaves it blank when using SureFire


๐Ÿ” Form 1040 Wkst 9 Withholding Information (SS Railroad Tier 1)

This guide explains how SureFire handles Form 1040 Wkst 9 information for withholding from Social Security Railroad Tier 1 benefits.

โš ๏ธ Before You Begin

Be aware of the following behavior:

  • Withholding information for SS Railroad Tier 1 benefits will not populate from the 1099-R.
  • When using SureFire, the related information leaves it blank.
  • SureFire will automatically enter all zeroes in the EIN field for the social security items.

๐Ÿ“Š What You Need to Do

Step 1: Review the EIN and payer name fields

Use this when you need to confirm SureFireโ€™s automatic EIN entry and clear the diagnostic.

SureFire will automatically enter all zeroes in the EIN field for the social security items. You will still need to enter the payer name to clear the diagnostic.

Step 2: Clear the diagnostic by entering the payer name

Use this when you see a diagnostic that requires additional information.

Users or preparers will still need to enter the payer name to clear the diagnostic.

โŒ Troubleshooting Note

If the SS Railroad Tier 1 withholding information is blank, this is expected behavior because it will not populate from the 1099-R in SureFire. Enter the payer name to clear the diagnostic.
