No, you do not need to include your son's income (whether SSI or Social Security benefits) on your tax return. Also, child support is not considered taxable income.

Note that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is different from Social Security benefits. Because of the similar names they are often confused. The FAQs below provide more information.
