An SSA-1099 is a tax form we mail each January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from us in the previous year.
In the event you lose your Form W–2, or require a duplicate copy you can download a copy from Cal Employee Connect under the "W-2" tab. You also can request one from the State Controller's Office. To do so you must obtain a Standard Form 436: Request for Duplicate Wage and Tax Statement: As a fill and print PDF form.
If you did not receive your SSA-1099 from Social Security, also called a Social Security Benefit Statement, you can request one online with a my Social Security account. Replacement SSA-1099s are available beginning February 1 for the previous year.
A Social Security 1099 is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits.
Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income, your benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return.
Have you heard about the Social Security $16,728 yearly bonus? There's really no “bonus” that retirees can collect. The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a specific formula based on your lifetime earnings to determine your benefit amount.
At what age is Social Security no longer taxable? Social Security income can be taxable no matter how old you are. It all depends on whether your total combined income exceeds a certain level set for your filing status. You may have heard that Social Security income is not taxed after age 70; this is false.
If the taxpayer doesn't receive the missing form in time to file their income tax return by the filing due date, they may complete Form 4852 or Form 1099-R to estimate their wages and earnings. They then attach the relevant form to their tax return when they file.
Your Social Security Statement (Statement) is available to view online by opening a my Social Security account.

Box 4 - Social Security Tax Withheld
This amount represents the total Social Security taxes withheld from your wages. Box 4 is calculated as 6.2 percent of the Social Security wages in Box 3. You should not have more Social Security withholding than the maximum wage base x 6.2%.
The Statement will arrive by mail in 4 to 6 weeks. For more information visit the Get Your Social Security Statement webpage.
If you need W-2 information for retirement purposes, you should contact the SSA at 800-772-1213.
If your only income is social security disability benefits, it's unlikely that you will owe the IRS anything at the end of the year or need to file a return. Clearly, if you don't file, you also won't earn a refund check. But, this is only if your sole income is the benefits.
The Social Security 1099 (SSA-1099) or Benefit Statement is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January. 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 the IRS on your tax return.
No problem: You can e-file without the physical 1099 in hand. Here's what to do: Just like W-2s, 1099s are supposed to be sent by the end of January each year. But if you didn't get a 1099, because of an incorrect address or some other mishap, first call whoever should have sent it.
If you did not receive your SSA-1099 or have misplaced it, you can get a replacement online if you have a My Social Security account. Sign in to your account and click the link for Replacement Documents. You'll be able to access your form and save a printable copy.
If your spouse dies, do you get both Social Security benefits? You cannot claim your deceased spouse's benefits in addition to your own retirement benefits. Social Security only will pay one—survivor or retirement. If you qualify for both survivor and retirement benefits, you will receive whichever amount is higher.
As a very general rule of thumb, if your only income is from Social Security benefits, they won't be taxable, and you don't need to file a return. But if you have income from other sources as well, there may be taxes on the total amount.
Exactly how much in earnings do you need to get a $3,000 benefit? Well, you just need to have averaged about 70% of the taxable maximum. In our example case, that means that your earnings in 1983 were about $22,000 and increased every year to where they ended at about $100,000 at age 62.
Each survivor benefit can be up to 100% of your benefit. The amount may be reduced if the women start benefits before their own full retirement age, but they don't have to share — the amount isn't reduced because you've had more than one spouse.
