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, Patricia. We are sorry to hear about your loss. The SSA-1099 is mailed to the last address in our records and is intended for the spouse or executor of the deceased. If you did not receive the benefit statement, the executor will need to go into the local Social Security office with proof of death and proof of executorship. An 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.

    How do I get a replacement for a w-2 for a parent with alzheimers who can not set up an account? Do I have to go to the office in person?

    • A.C.

      Hi, Dawnette. It sounds like you are referring to the SSA-1099. If so, We only recognize a designated representative payee for handling Social Security funds. If your parent is not capable of managing and directing their Social Security benefits, someone should consider applying to be their representative payee. Even though you may have power of attorney, you, or someone else, would still need to apply to serve as their payee. To learn more about becoming a representative payee, you can read our publication, A Guide for Representative Payees. You can also call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to request an appointment. Or you can contact or visit your local Social Security office. We hope this information helps.
