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 have not had to deal with social security for several years until now, but I hesitate to do so because of the last experience. I displayed my SS card which I obtained when I was 14 years old back in 1955. My signature would be one of a very neat person attending public schools. I was then required to sign a document and guess what, my current signature did not look anything like my 60 old school boy signature. The young lady with the experience in life of a empty Coke bottle denied my transaction because the signatures did not match. Rather than be denied service and have to try again I tried to master my old signature, which to me was a current act of FORGERY, because that was not my signature as a 75 year old with arthritic hands. Of course, the coke bottle didn’t understand the difference years make.

I am disappointed with your supposed service of obtaining a replacement 1099 form for 2016, which I need immediately to complete other personal business.
I opened an account a few years ago, and wrote down my user name and password for later use. Today I made 3 attempts to obtain said information without success and was then locked out for 24 hours. Today being a Sunday, I don’t expect any help, and I do not look forward to having a very long telephone wait tomorrow.
