No, you do not claim SSI payments on your tax return. It's important to be sure they are SSI or SSA. Use the information below to make your determination.
As far as your daughter is concerned, if she is not a qualifying child of another person, and your daughter did not provide more than half of her own support from sources such as social security, or state assistance then you can claim your daughter on your tax return. Child support payments received are considered to be provided by the custodial parent. For tax purposes the custodial parent is the parent the child lives with for more than half the year.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a United States government program that provides stipends to low-income people who are either aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled. Although administered by the Social Security Administration, SSI is funded from the U.S. Treasury general funds, not the Social Security trust fund. This income is not taxable or reportable on the income tax return.
