An SSA-1099 is a tax form we mail 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 are a nonresident alien and you received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we will send you form SSA-1042S instead.
