I’m filing my 2 nephews this year and they both receive social security payments. Do I put in those payments on my taxes or no?

No.

Do not enter the SSA1099 for your child on your own tax return.   Someday if the child has other income  (after school job, etc.) and is filing a tax return, for that tax year he will need to include the SSA1099 on his own return.  Until then, it does not get entered anywhere.

No.  If you are claiming your nephews on your return as dependents, you do not enter their social security payments on your return.  

 

If they do not need to file a return, then these forms will not be entered on any return. If they do need to file with other income, then they will be entered on their own return.
