My boyfriend and father of my daughter, gets Disability. He received a letter stating that our daughter might be eligible for a month check for HIS disability. Well, she got approved. So, in December she received a lump some for back pay and now, in 2021 gets a monthly check. He received a SSA-1099 for taxes, her lump sum in December. Box 7 says his name for her name and our address. I work and was planning on claiming her, which I have done for the last few years. Am I still able to claim her and do I have to enter the SSA-1099 on my tax returns? Sorry, this is the first year I’ve had to do this, it’s completely new to me. Thank you!
