I am filing married jointly. I received Form SSA-1099 forms for each of my 3 kids. Do I need to report that on my income?

You do not report the Social Security benefits received by your dependent children on your tax return. If the child has no other income they do not report the benefits on a tax return.

No.

You don't report your children's forms SSA-1099 on your tax return.

If the incomes on these forms SSA-1099 were the only incomes of your children, they are not required to file tax returns.
