Entering SSDI in my tax return for my disabled daughter

My wife and I (filing jointly) have a 22 year old disabled daughter who is a dependent and receives SSDI.  We received form SSA-1099 for her and I can't figure out how to enter her information in our taxes.

 

When I go to the Federal Taxes tab and into the Retirement Plans & Social Security section, I click update on Social Security but my wife and I are the only ones listed to enter data.  There is no clear way to add my daughter to this list.  

 

Thinking then that I need to update my daughter's data in the Personal Information tab , I went through that process but there isn't a clear way to select that she received SSDI (income) so that her name will show up for inputs in the Social Security section.  

 

What am I missing here and how do I enter my daughter's SSDI information?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.  🙂

Entering SSDI in my tax return for my disabled daughter

You do not add your daughter's income on your tax return. It should go on her own tax return.

 

If SSDI is her only income, she is not required to file a tax return.
