he was getting benefits because he was under 18 when I started to get benefits from SS myself, I do pay taxes on 80% of my benefits , can anybody help me on clarify this issue ? thank you.
If your highschooler had any OTHER income----from an after school job, etc. then the SSA1099 must be on his tax return with his W-2 income or self-employment income, etc. If he had no other income except for the SS, he does not file a tax return.
His SS does not ever go on YOUR tax return.

Thank you, your answer is quite believable and really make since , my son started a part time in Jan 2023, still in HS in his senior year and still getting SS benefits until he graduated , after graduation benefits stoped, he started Collage in the fall of 2023. I"m doing the taxes for 2023. He got a W2 form from his part time job , what would I do next ? he is my dependent along with my wife
Your son will always report all his own income on a tax return in his own name. (You can help, of course. But his income does not go on your return.) His SSI may be taxable depending on how much other income he has. It sounds like your son needs to prepare a tax return and see whether he owes or gets a refund. If you are using Turbotax Online, your son will need to make a separate account because each user account can only file one tax return for one person.
