Filing SSA-1099 for Children

[selah]

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

My children receive benefits due to my husband being disabled. They take out taxes on their money, which I just found out that they don't have to do that. I need to know what form to use to file for them and is this something that I can do online? Both of them are minors and do not have any other income in addition to their benefits.

Thank you.

Be sure to file tax returns to get the withholding back.

I am wanting to file the return, I just don't know what form to use to do that with.

I suspect it will be the 1040-ez.

I filed it last year, I just don't remember what form I used. It wasn't the EZ because there is no line for SS benefits. It wasn't the 1040 either. I can't find my last years taxes to see what that form was.

It was a 1040A

Fair enough.

Is this something that I can file for them online?

Go to the post office and get or go to the irs website and download the form(s) required and mail them in.

There are also some online services to file your taxes. The trick is that they usually charge for the state return. Since you don't need one, you're golden.
