Social Security errs on tax
Associated Press
Published January 25, 2008
WASHINGTON - About 2.7-million people have incorrect Social Security payment information on a vital tax document, the Social Security Administration said Thursday, as the agency moved to mail out corrections. The document affected is the Social Security Benefit Statement, or Form SSA-1099. That document is needed by Social Security recipients to complete their federal income tax return and to find out whether their benefits are subject to income tax. The Social Security Administration mailed those statements to 53-million people in January. The agency said a computer programming error caused Medicare Part C and Part D premium deduction amounts, and some garnishment deduction amounts, for 2006 to be included in the amounts reported for 2007.
