Ssd For Child

[Guest jangrin]

Does any one know if the SS payment my teenage son gets from SS each month are taxed. My son worked part time in a department store. he made less than $2000.00 last year, but he also gets money each month for the family/child portion from his father's SSDI award.

It comes to me (his Mom) and then in turn I use it for his monthly expenses. Is this money suppose to be listed on the tax return?

His (my son's), Mine or a joint return.

Its not enough to worry about taxes. SS will send you a 1099 that you will use if you need to report taxes to IRS.Your son is in the clear. When he is 18 the check will go to him for 13 months if he is still in school.

Pete is correct.

You (or your husband) will receive a 1099 from IRS.

Whomever is listed as the person/payee on that 1099 form is the person responsible for the taxes owed. This is the person that the SSA is showing as having received the SSDI payments and this is the person from whom the IRS will turn to for the taxes.

Thank you very much, that clears up the question. My son doesn't need to file but if he does for his part time job he will get the federal taxes withheld returned.

Then I will file for the SS payments he receives. Makes sense but I didn't know for sure what the deal was. I appreceiate the help. Thank you.
