    You do Not enter a dependent's Social Security benefits on your tax return.  If the dependent has no other income they do not report the benefits received on a tax return.

    Thank You, Do I need to fill out a separate return for them?

    No they do not need a separate tax return if the Social Security benefits were the only income they received in 2020.
