You get a SSA-1099 from Social Security, not a W2.

You do not get a W-2 for Social Security. They mail you a SSA1099 in January. You should have it by now if you were receiving Social Security benefits in 2024.

There is a way to go on the Social Security website and request one. Go to www.ssa.gov You have to create an account with a user name and password.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
