SSA 1099 for Children of Parent with SS Benefits

[tragicallysteve]

Hello, 

I'm trying to file my taxes.  My wife has a visual impairment and collects Social Security.  My children also collect a smaller amount as a part of her disability.  We received SSA 1099 statements for my wife and children.  I found the spot to claim my wife's benefits, but do I need to put the benefits anywhere that my children received?

Thank you.

A dependent child's Social Security benefits are not entered on your tax return.

If the child has no other income they do not report the benefits received on a tax return.
