You do Not enter the child's Social Security benefits reported on his SSA-1099 on your tax return. If the child has no other income they do not file a tax return.

No. Do not enter the SS that comes for your son on your own tax return. Someday when your son has an after school job, etc. or other income he will enter it on his own tax return.
