Every January Social Security mails out SSA-1099, or SSA-1042S, tax forms to all Social Security beneficiaries. The forms show what income needs to be reported to the IRS when filing an annual tax return. The SSA-1042S form only goes out to non-US citizens who live outside of the United States. Everyone else receives the SSA-1099 form. Neither of these forms go to beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Recently, Social Security announced how to receive a replacement tax form. Beneficiaries can go to my Social Security (www.ssa.gov/myaccount/) and log into their account to view or print a replacement copy of their form. If beneficiaries do not have an account with my Social Security, they can go to www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ to create a free account. Replacement forms are only available after February 1.
