Baby Boomers and others receiving Social Security payments now have a new option if they lose some tax paperwork.
The Social Security Administration is kicking off a service that allows recipients to instantly view a replacement SSA-1099 online at www.socialsecurity.gov. The tax filer could print out that form and use it to prepare taxes. Form SSA-1099 is sent in January to those receiving Social Security benefits. It shows total benefits received for the previous year and is needed to file taxes.
