@SabreTrooper If your child is receiving SS benefits as a survivor, etc., there is no benefit to filing a tax return for a two year old. You do not put the child's SS on your own return. Unless the child has other income---like is the child a model who received income?--- there is no reason to file a tax return for a toddler.
And...despite the SS the child is receiving, the child can still be claimed as a dependent by the parent(s).
