How do I enter social security benefits for my kids I got separate ssa 1099 for them

You will not enter the income from your children’s SSA1099 on your return. This income is not in one of the categories that can be included on a parents return.


However, if your children have income besides social security, you would need to file a tax return for them using standard deductions for dependents. This page on the IRS website provides a broad discussion for social security income of children (See IRS - Survivor Benefits for more information) Although it discusses survivor benefits paid to children, it is applicable for most situations where a child is receiving social security income.
