I received 2 forms SSA-1099-SM. One is on my Daughter Morgan and the other is on Lewis. Do I have to file taxes on both of these? one for the child?

I read that you don't have to file the child unless this is the child's Tax return. the total of the two together is 25,663 if this helps.  I just want to know if I have to file these as income.

No - you do not have to file.  The 1099-SSA-SM forms for your children are never reported by your children if that is their only income.  And it is never reported on your tax return.

What if the child also received form 1099-B with capital gains of $3082.28?

Does the child need to file? Or add to parents return?

Yes, the child would need to file. It may be possible to add to the parent's return in certain circumstances.

 

When unearned income such as capital gains exceeds $2,200, the parent's tax rate is applied to amounts exceeding $2,200.
