It depends on your total income. If you are single and made between $25,000 and $34,000 last year, up to 50% of your Social Security is taxable. If you made more than $34,000, you'll pay taxes on up to 85% of your Social Security. When you enter all of your income, TurboTax will calculate the taxable portion of your Social Security.
Refer to the TurboTax articles Is my Social Security income taxable?, How does receiving Social Security affect my taxes? and
When Does a Senior Citizen on Social Security Stop Filing Taxes?
Your son's Social Security Survivors benefits is taxable if he has other income and it's over the base amount ($25,000 if the child is single). If that's the case, he must file his own tax returns. His Social Security payments aren't included on your tax return.
Refer to the IRS FAQ Are Social Security survivor benefits for children considered taxable income? for more information.
