man and woman on laptop It’s that time of year again. Preparing for tax season can seem overwhelming. Some forms and paperwork might be difficult to track down. If you misplaced your Benefits Statement or haven’t received it by the end of January, we’ve made it easy to go online to get a replacement with a personal my Social Security account.

An SSA-1099, also called a Benefit Statement, is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to the more than 60 million people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits received from Social Security in the previous year so people know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on their tax return.

For noncitizens who live outside of the United States and received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we’ll send form SSA-1042S instead. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

If you currently live in the United States and need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, we have a way for you to get a replacement quickly and easily. Go online and get a replacement form with a personal my Social Security account.

Every worker in the United States should create a personal my Social Security account. The secure and personalized features of my Social Security are valuable tools to help Americans plan for retirement.

    My mother passed away December 29, 2017.
    We need a copy of her 1099 for taxes.
    Her address had changed and we did not get all of her mail transferred.
    How can we get a copy of her 1099?

    • R.F.

      We’re sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, Charlie. In certain cases, we may disclose SSA-1099 information from the record of a deceased person, only to a survivor of the deceased and only if we are able to establish the relationship of the survivor to the deceased based on SSA records.
      You will need to go into the local Social Security office with proper identification and supporting documents to make a request for a replacement SSA-1099.
      We hope this information helps.

    Need to find out where I can put in a W-4P form to have taxes with held from my monthly deposit. unsure if I have to go to the a local office or if there is an address I have to send it to. It is an hours wait for online and never sure how long to get into a service rep at the local office. personnel are good about getting things done, but do not want to wait forever and find it a useful effort. Telephone electronic’s is just frustrating.
