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.

    I just need a form 1040 for 2017 printed out. Your website is too stupid to allow that to happen.

      Form 1040 is the standard federal income tax form used to report an individual’s gross income. For assistance in this matter or for further income tax questions, you will need to contact the IRS. Their toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040.

    How do you get a copy of the 1099 for a deceased recipient in order to file their final tax return. The decedent did not have a mysocialsecurity account. I am the executor of the estate.

    • R.F.

      Thank you for contacting us, John. You will need to go into the local field office with proof of death and proof of executorship to submit your request. A replacement SSA-1099 can also be given to someone receiving benefits on the deceased beneficiary’s record such as a spouse, parent, or child of the deceased.
      If you need more information, call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask a representative for assistance. Thanks!

    I need to get my 2017 SSA 1099 information as I never received it in January. I live in the couuntry of Panama and must file my income tax by June 15th. Is it possible for me to get this information on line? As I do not live in the U.S. I cannot open a “my social Security” account.
    Thank you for your help.

      Hi, Merle. We appreciate you using our blog to communicate with us! At this time you must have a U. S. mailing address to create or to access your online account. The “my Social Security” authentication system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet. Our Office of International Operations (OIO) home page provides more information to assist our customers living abroad. We hope this information helps!
