Social Security lump sum for 2 back years plus current year

[cclark]

I have ProSeries Basic and I have a client who received a lump sum of social security for the 2018, & 2019 and also has some in 2020. My ProSeries will not allow me to use the lump sum worksheet for the previous years. It states earlier social security worksheets are not available in ProSeries basic.

How do I go about to figure out the non-taxable portion. I did go back to each year and did it from the worksheet from the publication on IRS.Gov website but not sure how to show this on the Proseries basic program. Help anyone!

Download proseries professional and move the basic file over to pro and calculate and if the result is favorable then file as a pay per use for that client.
