Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are to be entered on a federal tax return. The benefits may be taxable depending on the amount of other income you have entered on your tax return.
However, if the Social Security benefits are the Only income to be reported on the tax return, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return
As an addendum - If he has health care insurance through one of the State Marketplace Exchanges or from healthcare.gov and receives a Form 1095-A he must file a tax return to report the 1095-A.
Thanks for the reply. Since it is his only income I will not submit a tax return for him. Thank you.
