No. Once a child is 14, all the child's income is reflected
on only the child's return. (Not that there is any income
from the SSI)

First, this is HER income, not yours. Second, if you provide
more than 50% of her support for the year, she could be your
dependent. See the qualifications for "dependent child"
and/or "dependent relative" in Pub 501

Hi ... our daughter is 19 and has Autism (she lives with
us). She receives $402 a month (Florida) and I was wondering
if I have to claim that money if I claim her as a dependent?
I know that SSI is not taxable for her, but does this apply
if I claim her as a dependent instead?

Thanks,
Jay
