What is the name of your state? California
My yearly SS statment says I had no income in 1975 but I did. I have no records to prove it and when I called the IRS they said they don't go back that far. I am 58 and have been in the work force since 1971, paying the maximum SS tax each year since about 1984. I plan to retire at the maximum retirement age. Will this error significantly affect my benefits? And how can I get it corrected?
