What do you mean by that?
I see no reason why the IRS would ask for an actual copy of your SSA-1099 every year, unless you are somehow mis-entering that withholding amount in some way.
_____________________
For instance, when you "upload" a picture or PDF of your SSA-1099, the software does not send that actual picture or PDF to the IRS.......the software looks at it, and the software's "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) attempts to interpret which $$ amounts go into which boxes on the software's own SSA-1099 form.
BUT, that AI interpreting of the data on the picture/PDFcan go wrong.....it can get the wrong $$ in the wrong boxes, or sometimes miss seeing the decimal point, resulting in a crazy $$ amount.
SO, after uploading the picture/PDF...... YOU:
Must EDIT, the software's SSA-1099 using the interview, to make sure the right $$ went into the correct boxes. The tax withholding must show the correct $$ amount in box 6 of the software's SSA-1099.
Once you confirm it is properly entered there, then you do not re-enter that withholding anywhere else in the program. The software will add it to any other withholding you reported, and put it on the correct line of the form 1040. But the box 6 value must first be confirmed by you, to be correct in the first place.
Of course, perhaps it isn't really the SSA-1099 withholding that is being questioned. Maybe some other withholding you entered with another tax form is causing the IRS to question your total withholding in some way or another.
