I am 59 and my son is 15. I am disabled and get SSD. My son gets 50% of mine as the dependent share. For both of us it is the only source of income. My wife works and receives earned income.

Social security payments to children.
If the Social Security (SS) payments, including SS disability, were under his/her SS number (as they usually are), it does not get reported on your return. If it does need to be reported, it would go on his/her individual return. If that was his/her only income, it does not get reported at all. He does not need to file a tax return.
SS is only taxable & reportable when added to sufficient other income. Social security only becomes taxable, when his income, including 1/2 his social security, reaches $25,000
