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.

    Hi, My mother, Marie M Bilius, Social Security #*** – ** – ***, passed away on 11-11-2018. We have not received a 1099 form for the tax year of 2018. We need to file 1 more time for her a federal income tax.
    What is the easiest way to get the replacement form? I really don’t want to open an account for her, but I will if that is the only way to get it.
    Can you send the replacement to me at my address?

    Why can’t I create an account? I need a copy of my Social Security Benefit Statement. We moved in Dec.1st to our new address, which I requested change of address from 2 Valley Road Patchogue 11772, to 99 Rosalind Road , Yaphank NY 11980 ( my current address and I am told that my info is incorrect.
    I received a check from Medicare Payment and it has the correct address, why is it that I haven’t received my Social security benefit statement and can’t get it on line either?
    Thank you very much for your attention.
