SSA-1099 Box 8 has my SSN on child benefit

[sandpspies]

I'm receiving a SS benefit for my minor child until she turns 18 or graduates high school.  We received 2 SSA-1099s, 1 for my benefit and 1 for hers.  She has no other income.  Do I include her amount with mine or check to see if she needs her own return?

Do not put your child's Social Security on your own tax return.  Someday, if your child has some other income besides the SS, then she will enter the SSA1099 she gets on her own tax return with the W-2 she has for an after school job, etc.  Until then, it gets entered nowhere.
