Retirement tax questions

The social security for your children is not taxed and not added to your return. Only if a child needs to file a return due to income would the social security be reported.

 

 

I recommend you run through the IRS How Do I File a Deceased Person program. It is specific to your scenario.

I am very sorry for your loss.
