Make sure all dependents listed on your annual tax forms have Social Security numbers. Check the names and numbers to make sure they match up. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) checks all the names and Social Security numbers on tax returns against Social Security’s records. If the names and numbers do not match Social Security’s records, it could mean a delay in receiving any tax refund due.
If you need to pay taxes on benefits, you will need a Form SSA-1099 for tax year 2012. The 1099 shows the total amount of benefits you received in the previous year. Social Security mails the forms to all beneficiaries by January 31. If you have not received your 1099 for 2012, you can request a replacement on or after February 1 at www.socialsecurity.gov/1099

Getting Your Benefit Verification Letter Is Easy With my Social Security
Posted: January 24, 2013
If you are one of the more than 60 million people receiving Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and/or Medicare, my Social Security makes it easier and more convenient for you to request your benefit verification letter. This letter is an important resource for beneficiaries. For instance, it can act as proof of income when you apply for a loan or mortgage, assisted housing or other state or local benefits. You also can use it to verify current Medicare health insurance coverage, retirement status, disability, or age.
With my Social Security, you have secure and convenient access to these and other Social Security services. As a beneficiary, you can also check your benefit and payment information, change your address and phone number, or even set up direct deposit of your benefit payment. If you’re not yet a beneficiary, you can use my Social Security to get estimates of your future retirement, disability, and survivor benefits; view your earnings record; and get estimates of how much you’ve paid in Social Security and Medicare taxes.
