I am the representative payee for the social security disability for my adult son who lives with me. The SSA determined that he needed a representative payee because he was not able to manage his own money. I spend his SS on his food, shelter and living expenses and if any is leftover, I save it for him. Do I have to report his social security as income on my taxes?

Please check with Soc. Sec. and/or the IRS local office in your area with this question. They are the best source for the answers. Take care.

No,you don’t. SS benefits are not taxable.I got SS benefits for my son when he was a minor because I am disabled.I never had to claim it on taxes.
