Did I had to file my daughter death benefits from her dad if I am the payee and her name is below if I did would it impact my refund amount

If you are referring to Social Security benefits, you should not include this on your return.

If the benefits are the only income your daughter received in 2017, she is not required to file a return either.

If she received other taxable income in 2017, she may need to file a return to include the Social Security benefits
