SSI is not taxable income, it is based on your earned income, meaning the more you earn the less your son's SSI will be.
No there is no place to mark for a disabled child, you will get the standard exemption and credits that you qualify for. In some cases, if you had to make modifications to your home for your son, then this can be used as deductions.
