Which Line Of The Tax Form Schedule SE Is Recorded By SSA?

Hi Larry.
Can you tell me from which line on Tax form 1040 Schedule SE the Substantial Earnings are recorded by SSA?

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve. On the current form Schedule SE, the amount recorded by Social Security is the smaller of line 6 or line 9, rounded up to the next dollar.

Best, Jerry
