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.

    You make the statement “The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).”, but you don’t explain why, and where that means there is another form that applies, or is SSI payments are exempt from taxes? Not helpful to make statements that are not explanied!

      Hello David. Supplemental security income (SSI) payments are NOT taxable, and thus do not need to be reported on your tax return. For further income tax questions, you will need to contact the IRS. Their toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040. Thanks!
