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 my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is typically available for the previous tax year after February 1.
If you already have a 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 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 www.socialsecurity.gov for more.
