I have 3 minor biological sons who receive Survivors Benefits since losing their father in 2022. Two are full time students and one is only 4 years old so is not in school yet. Is there a section on tax return to enter this information, or do i not need to?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
All the children that receive Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 will have their Social Security number entered in box 2 of the form. You do not report their benefits received on your tax return.
It the child has no other income they do not report the benefits received on a tax return.
You do not report your children's survivor benefits on your tax return.
If the Survivor benefits are their only income, they are not required to file tax returns.
thank you for your help . it is very much appreciated
