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 am the administrator of my Mother’s estate. She died in July and I do not have a copy of her 2017 SSA-1099 for her taxes. What information do I need to supply to you to get a replacement copy? Thanks.

We’re sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, Derek. You will need to request a replacement form SSA-1099 at your local Social Security office. You should bring your proper identification, proof of death and proof of executorship.
In certain cases, we may disclose SSA-1099 information from the record of a deceased person, only to a survivor of the deceased and only if we are able to establish the relationship of the survivor to the deceased based on SSA records. We hope this information helps.

I desperately need help. I am locked out of my account.
I followed directions and I’m so frustrated that I’m locked out. How do I get unlocked out?
I write out my new password with upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers and nothing work. I need to get an SSA-1099 for taxes and again.
15 minutes ago I received a number for security and was allowed in, then it wouldn’t take the number. I don’t know why this can’t be more simple. It seems so bit it isn’t. help!
