Oh, so sorry for that terrible loss.
Do not enter the SSA1099 for your child on your own tax return. Someday if the child has other income (after school job, etc.) and is filing a tax return, for that tax year he will need to include the SSA1099 on his own return. Until then, it does not get entered anywhere.
You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. If they only get ssi or SS, SSDI or a SSA-1099 they don't have to file a return and nobody reports it.
Filing requirements for a dependent
You do not enter the SSA-1099 that she received on your tax return. If you look at the SSA-1099 in box 2 it will have her Social Security number entered, not yours.
If the SS benefits she received is her only income she does not need to file a tax return.
