You don't. She received the payment in 2025. It will go on your 2025 tax return. Next year in January they will mail her a SSA1099 with the information on it, and it will go on your 2025 return.

If you want to have tax withheld from the Social Security benefits during the upcoming year, you can do that to help mitigate the possible tax due next year.
