Do I need to report my parent Form SSA-1099 Social Security Benefits on my tax return, I'm Head of Household claiming her as my dependent.

There is a question that asks "Did xxxx make at least $4,300 in 2020?" Her SSA-1099 is more than $4,300 but not sure if it needs to be reported or not? So do I need to answer "Yes" or "No"?

Only the taxable part of the Social Security Income would have to be considered for this question. If your parent did not have any other income then her Social Security will most likely not taxable and therefore you say "no" to the question.

Please see Is my Social Security income taxable? for additional information.
