[48078df8f5ff]

Do I use a 1099 form to file my taxes for SSA income? Which form do I use? Do I file SSI income and if I do what form do I use? I don’t know how to file and need help with what form/forms to use.

If you receive SSI, you do not enter it anywhere on a tax return.  But ---- SSI and Social Security benefits are not the same thing---so understand the difference.   If you receive Social Security benefits, you will receive a SSA1099 in January.   If the Social Security is your ONLY income (or a combination of SSI and Social Security) you do not need to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.  If you also have some other source of taxable income from a job, self-employment, investments, retirement income, etc. you may need to file a tax return.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND SSI?
