Because I am on disability I won't receive a 1099 form so what do I do when I'm asked to enter this on my tax questions?

When I contacted social security I was told I won't get a 1099

Do you know the amount of income you received via check? You can enter it using those figures.

You may not need to file a return at all. The filing requirements are below.

• Single filing status:
  • $12,550 if under age 65
  • $14,250 if age 65 or older
• Married filing jointly:
  • $25,100 if both spouses under age 65
  • $26,450 if one spouse under age 65 and one age 65 or older
  • $27,800 if both spouses age 65 or older
• Married filing separately — $5 for all ages
• Head of household:
  • $18,800 if under age 65
  • $20,500 if age 65 or older
• Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child:
  • $25,100 if under age 65
  • $26,450 if age 65 or older

• A Social Security 1099 or 1042S Benefit Statement, also called an SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, is a tax form that shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
