Get a Replacement Social Security Tax Form Online With Ease
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 3, 2023
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.

Tried several times to get a copy of my 1099 statement for 2019 on-line. However, one-time code sent to me by e-mail always arrives after 10 minute timeframe to use code expires. Local Office is also closed. How do I get a copy of my statement for tax purposes?
My phone number is 304-727-3033.

I am trying to get a replacement form SSA-1099 for my brother and my sister-in-law, so I can file their 2019 taxes. My brother past away in January, 2020 and my sister-in law is not computer literate. I have their SS#’s.
V.V.
We are very sorry for your loss, Jeffrey. The benefit statement is mailed to the last address in our records and is intended for the spouse or executor of the deceased. If you do not have access to the mail at that address, the executor will need to go into the local field 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. Unfortunately, you may need to wait for the offices to reopen. We apologize for the inconvenience.
For your sister-in-law, check out our Frequently Asked Questions web page on how to obtain a replacement 1099. She also may be able to request a replacement SSA-1099 by using our automated telephone service at 1-800-772-1213. She can conduct the automated services 24 hours a day.

I need to have 5% taken out of my Social Security for taxes starting in July, 2020. Can you email me a link to do that?
A.C.
Hi, James. Thanks for your question. In order to have taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit, you must start by printing, completing and submitting an IRS Voluntary Withholding Request Form (Form W-4V). On this form, you can choose to have 7, 10, 12, or 22 percent of your monthly benefit withheld. The Form W-4V (to withhold federal taxes from your Social Security benefits) can be returned to your local Social Security office by mail. See our Benefits Planner: Withholding Income Tax From Your Social Security Benefits web page for more information. We hope this helps.
