No Need to Visit a Field Office: Replace Your SSA-1099 Benefit Statement Online
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: November 3, 2023
We’re with you through life’s journey, putting you in control of your finances and future. Social Security has made requesting or replacing your annual Benefit Statement even easier. The Benefit Statement is also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S. Now you have the ability to download it anytime and anywhere you want using our online services. There’s no need to visit a field office.
An SSA-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 IRS on your tax return.
If you currently 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 with a personal my Social Security account.
A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is typically available for the previous tax year after February 1.
If you already have a personal my Social Security account, you should access your online account and go to “Replacements Documents” 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 and email it. If you don’t have a personal my Social Security account, creating a secure account is very easy to do and usually takes less than 15 minutes.
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 instead. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Securing today and tomorrow isn’t always easy, but Social Security continues to improve our customer service with easy to use online features. Visit our website for more information.

I also need to obtain a duplicate SSA-1099 for year 2019. I tried accessing my account and I made a mistake on my password the first time. When I tried the second time, it locked me out because it said I tried THREE times! I did not!

How do I receive a 2019 SSA-1099 form for a deceased parent, so I may file their tax returns? I have tried the online portal and it will not work for me.

my dad (Young Dal Kwuon) is 89, mom (Shi Han Kwuon) is 85. Dad was receiving SS benefits, but we don’t know why it has ceased. He’s in a care facility, and I and sister (Joan Kwuon) are handling matters for them. Would like to get his benefits reinstated, perhaps mailed to new address?
I’m at 916-752-5595. Thank you for any help.

I am one of those taxpayers who’s SSA benefits are completely used to pay for my Medicare. Since no check is issued to me, my 1099 is not mailed to me. I also can’t get it on line. I called and went out to my local office, and they couldn’t print me copy. They have made a request for one to be mailed to me sometime in the next 30 days. I was told by them that next year I can just call them and they will handle my request over the phone. It would certainly have been nice to have been told this by a letter. I’ve been patiently waiting for this 1099 to arrive so I can complete my taxes. Senior citizens need all the help they can get!

How does a 93 year old lady, who doesn’t leave her house and doesn’t have a computer get a replacement SSA-1099. Can this be sent in the mail? Is there a number to call to request a copy?
