man on laptop 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.

    Hello
    I was just sitting down ready to do my Taxes for 2018 When I noticed on my “Form SSA-1099 Social Security Benefit Statement shows, “Year 2017”.. I did not pay attention to this at the time I received this Statement. So here I’m thinking am I in the right year? This is 2019 so this statement should be for 2018. I know I already filed my 2017 Tax so why am I filing again for 2017?Nothing is ever “Clear Cut” with Social Security” The website is knowledgeable, and easy to get around..But it’s a secret why this Benefit Statement shows 2017 again…Like a Game Show “Guess the answer”.
    . Then regarding my monthly Medicare pyt of $135.50. S.S. states “Always “rounded off to the next dollar Why does my Medicare py tshow $135.50? Not rounded off..
    Thank You

    I attempted to set up an online account and was suspended for 24 hours, even though everything was answered correctly. Security is great, but not security that blocks legitimate users.
