Filing death benefits
This is my first time filing since my son’s father passed and we have been receiving benefits. It’s in my child’s name but I am the payee. Do I add this SSA1099 on my own tax return if my son is my dependent?

Do not enter the SSA1099 for your child on your own tax return. Someday if the child has other income (after school job, etc.) and is filing a tax return, for that tax year he will need to include the SSA1099 on his own return. Until then, it does not get entered anywhere.
