SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is welfare and is not taxable. It is not entered anywhere on your tax return.  It is not the same as social security benefits (either retirement or disability) which is reported on an SSA-1099 and is potentially taxable.

You can, however, record it as nontaxable income in the Sales Tax deduction section if you itemize.
