I receive a VA Widow Pension every month. Where do I put this information on my return ?

I have never received  a 1099 and I've been collecting this for 12 yrs.

Your VA surviving spouse benefits or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) payments are tax exempt and you do not  need to report them on your tax return. This is why they have not issued a Form 1099 to the IRS to show the benefits. 

Please click to see additional information at the Department of Veteran Affairs website and to manage your benefits.
