This year, due to a programming error, the Social Security Administration sent SSA-1099 forms to several beneficiaries with incorrect income amounts. According to the Social Security Administration, the corrected forms were mailed on January 25. For more information, go to the Social Security Administration's website.

If you receive a SSA-1099, check the income amount against your records to be sure your tax form is correct. If you are in doubt, contact your local Social Security Administration office. The Chicago Daily Herald reports what fields on the form contain the errors and how to recognize the corrected notice when you receive it.
