so sorry for your loss and I know this is very difficult time.
Social Security survivor benefits for children are considered taxable income only for the children who are entitled to receive them, even if the checks are made out to a parent or guardian. Most children do not make enough in a year to owe any taxes.
did she have any other income such as unearned like dividends or interest?
Most likely is she will not have to file unless she had other income.... You do not have to declare her benefits on your return.
