    You can name your income Category for Social Security anything you want.  Using the name of "Social Security" with separate SubCategories - one for me, one for my spouse - works just fine.  You will want to connect each SubCategory to the proper tax line item, i.e., "Social Security inc., self" and "Social Security inc., spouse."
    I've also created the SubCategory of "Medicare" under the top-level expense Category of "Medical Insurance" to deal with the deductions from from the Gross Benefit.

    What I like to do is abbreviate as much as I can because the shorter the names, then better when printing reports. For Social Security I like to use SSA T, and SSA J. The T & J are letter designations for our first name. SSA stands for Social Security Administration.
