Adopted Son has SSA-1099

[FredLooban]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

My neighbor who is retired almost 82 yrs old, has an adopted son and he is asking me where to put his son's Tax SSA-1099 on Turbo Tax.

I don't know what to tell him though, his son is 18 years old now; does he have to add it on his income?

But the SSA-1099 money is under his son's name and he doesn't touch his son's money but his son is his only dependent and he filed jointly with his wife.

Thanks a lot!

You need to stop giving out tax advice. Clearly you are not qualified.

A 1099-SSA for a child never goes on the tax return of the parent, no matter what the child's age is. A 1099-SSA might go on a tax return for the child IF the child has sufficient income from other sources to be required to file a tax return.

Maybe junior at 18 should be doing his own taxes.
