A disabled dependent's 1099-SSA

[mtbbprez]

I have a client who's disabled dependent son just started collecting social security. His 1099-SSA has his fathers social security number on the form. Do I file a separate return for the son or add the social security benefit to his fathers total. I have a feeling I file a separate return for the son.

Box 2 should have the son's SS#   - that is whose tax return it would be reported.

Thanks. I appreciate the answer.

I do.

Enter the 1099 and make an adjustment on the line using the son's SSN  i.e. for SSN xxx xx xxxxx, disabled dependent. Enter the amount as a minus figure in order to zero out the total

I'm not dissing anyone.  I am just telling someone to stick to the correct advice that was originally posted.
