Get Your Social Security Benefit Statement (SSA-1099)
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: November 3, 2023
Tax season is approaching, and Social Security has made replacing your annual Benefit Statement even easier. The Benefit Statement is also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S. Now you can get a copy of your 1099 anytime and anywhere you want using our online services.
A Social Security 1099 is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on your tax return.
If you live in the United States and you need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, simply go online and request an instant, printable replacement form through your personal my Social Security account.
A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is available for the previous tax year after February 1.
If you already have a my Social Security account, you can log in to your online account to view and print your SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can save the document on your computer or laptop or even email it. If you don’t have a my Social Security account, creating one is very easy to do and usually takes less than 10 minutes.
If you receive benefits or have Medicare, your my Social Security account is also the best way to:
- Get your benefit verification letter;
- Check your benefit and payment information;
- Change your address and phone number;
- Change your direct deposit information;
- Request a replacement Medicare card; or
- Report your wages if you work and receive Social Security disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
If you’re a noncitizen who lives outside of the United States and you received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we will send you form SSA-1042S in the mail. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
With a personal my Social Security account, you can do much of your business with us online, on your time, like get a copy of your SSA-1099 form. Visit our website to find out more.

Your mysocialsecurity account sucks. If you forget your user name and pass word it won’t help you. If you try to open a new account it tells you you already have an account. If you try again to retrieve your user name it says it doesn’t recognize you. REALLY SUCKS !!!!!!!

Every time I try to sign in to to this site I have to get a reset code which is not that often. I understand security I still work on a computer and know you have to have it. I do everything online but your site is horrific to deal with. I don’t understand why it should be hard and 2 weeks to get a reset code? All I wanted to get to were tax docs for Medicare paid for 2019.

Thank you,

I use e-mail communication with SSA and cannot understand why SSA wastes taxpayers money mailing SSA-1099 instead of posting the form in my account I could print out. It makes sense to mail the form to those who don’t have My Social Security account or who marked preferred communication by mail in their accounts. Plus, for security reasons, I don’t want the form with my sensitive information was mailed.
