Received Two SSA1099. Do I enter Both on My return? My dependent son has a Large back payment, and he had little income in 18. he is 17,and I don't want his return Bad.

My son is 17, and only worked for Five months, I just need to know if I can add both, and enter on mine. He has student tuition credit with his Social Number, guessing tat needs to be on his retur also, Thanks in Advance...

You do not and cannot enter on your tax return Social Security benefits that are reported on a SSA-1099 with his Social Security number in box 2 of the form.  If that is the only income he receives then he does not need to file a tax return for the benefits received.
