On your form SSA-1099, in box 6, is there an amount?
This would be the amount of tax withholding that the SSA was supposed to withhold and send to the IRS.
If box 6 is blank, then I see why the IRS is concerned. However, it can happen that the SSA failed to send the withholding.
I assume that the IRS is asking for a photocopy of your SSA-1099, right?
This will start a protocol at the IRS to check that (1) you had reason to think there was withholding by the SSA, and (2) now the IRS can compare the copy of the SSA-1099 that the SSA sent you to the copy that the SSA sent the IRS.
So if the IRS is asking for a copy of the SSA-1099, just do it or whatever the IRS asks.
