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.

    2019 taxes

    I tried serval times to register on line. Each time I was denied. After waiting for an hour for a call back I was told by your office that I need to go in person to the nearest SSI office to obtain a verification code so I can register on line. I’ve tried to navigate through your website to find locations to your field offices to no avail. This very frustrating, I shouldn’t be surprised, this is typical government service. So where is the nearest office to me? I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739.

    I logged onto MY SOCIAL SECURITY to obtain a copy of my SSA1099 form. Was instructed to click the link “Replacement Forms” but was unable to access this info. Can you walk me through this?

    All I want to know is the hours of operation for my local office. Your website is not user friendly. I cannot locate simple things.
