Where do I report my child's dependent social security disability benefit?

Do I need to file separately, or can I include it on our tax return? I've searched but keep getting more confused about what to do. Thanks for any help you can provide.

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.

Thank you ! It seems odd not to report income received somewhere, but nothing is intuitive when I do taxes. Appreciate your help!!
