If your children receive Social Security survivors/disability benefits, that is income to them, not to you. You do not enter it on your tax return. Look at Box 2 of the SSA-1099 and you should see the child’s SSN. If that is the only income a child has, then the child does not have to file or report it either. If the child has enough other income to be required to file, then the child reports the SS on the child's return.
It may not be necessary for the dependent to file a separate return, To determine if your child is required to file a tax return, you can refer to the IRS Link provided (https://www.irs.gov/publications/p929/ar02.html)
If your Dependent needs to file their own return, Only one return
can be prepared on each account when using the online product. You must
create a new account and pay again (unless using the free edition) to
prepare another return. The CD is a better bargain for preparing multiple returns.
