Will I receive an SSA-1099 if I receive SSI for my child? Do I need to wait? I can't seem to find one on the SSA website.

If the child is receiving Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 you Do Not enter those benefits on your tax return.

If the SS benefits are the only income the child receives, they do not have to file a tax return.

No you don't get a SSA-1099 for ssi Supplemental security income.  Only for Social Security or SSDI.  And you don't report your child's SSA-1099 on your return.  It would only go on their return if they have other income to report.

Additionally -

SSI is Supplemental Security Income and is not from the Social Security Administration. It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and. It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. SSI is not reported on a tax return.
