This is my first year on SSI and SSD. Am I supposed to receive something from social security showing the amount of money I was paid during the last year? I'm not quite sure what to do with this. Can you help me? jafearnot AT att.net

Taxation of Social Security benefits

February 12, 2009 by admin

An SSA-1099 is mailed to you in January showing the total amount of benefits you received in the previous year. If you are a nonresident alien who received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, you will receive an SSA-1042S instead.

You can receive a replacement SSA-1099 here : https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/i1099/main.html

Taxation depends on the types of benefits you receive. Here is information on taxation :
http://www.ssa.gov/planners/taxes.htm

People who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) do not receive Benefit Statements (SSA-1099), since SSI is based on need and is not considered taxable income.

SS# Fraud

February 17, 2009 by Guest

I have been having fraudulent activity with my bank account... a while back a fraudulent site presented itself as my bank site and fooled a bunch of people to "confirm account info online." Thiniing it was my bank, I enterd in all my info including my SS#. I have done everything to make sure that won't happen again by filling claims and closing the account. However, I am now paranoid about my SS#...How can I double check and make sure no one else is using my number?

Excerpts from this link :
http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_publink100041887

Qualifying Relative

There are four tests that must be met for a person to be your qualifying relative. The four tests are:
1. Not a qualifying child test,
2. Member of household or relationship test,
3. Gross income test, and
4. Support test.
Age. Unlike a qualifying child, a qualifying relative can be any age. There is no age test for a qualifying relative.

...
Gross Income Test

To meet this test, a person's gross income for the year must be less than $3,500.
Gross income defined. Gross income is all income in the form of money, property, and services that is not exempt from tax.

...

Tax-exempt income, such as certain social security benefits, is not included in gross income.
