My daughters social security benefit was not added to my total income. Should'nt it be added being that it states add lines 7 through 14b?

You would never enter your dependent's social security income or any income to your own tax return except in very specialized circumstances. Delete the entry.

Even if they sent me a 1099 form?

Correct. A child's SSA may have a parent's name on it, but if it belongs to the child, it is the child's income. It is very unusual for a child to have enough other income for the benefit to be taxed. If the benefit belongs to you alone, include in your return.
