The Form SSA-1042S (Social Security Benefit Statement) serves the same purpose as,
and is similar to, the Form SSA-1099 (also named Social Security Benefit Statement).
However, the SSA-1042S has additional entries to show the:
-
•
nonresident alien tax rate;
-
•
amount of nonresident alien tax withheld;
-
•
amount of nonresident alien tax refunded; and
-
•
net nonresident alien tax withheld.
The explanations of the form and the items on it provide information to the nonresident
alien whose tax is a flat rate and is not related to age or other income.
