Neither, assuming it's your daughter's only income. First, it's your
daughter's income, the 1099 will be under her SSN, and it doesn't go on her
guardian's return.

If it's SSI it's tax-exempt. If it's SSDI, it's subject to the same rules
as SS retirement benefits in determining the taxable portion. In no case
does it contribute to determining a filing requirement.

She remains a qualifying child for EIC. She's been too old for the Child
Tax credit (under 17) for a couple of years already.

My daughter just turned 19 and is now currently receiving disability
SS. Couple of questions.
1. Where would I declare her SSI income since it is payment to my wife
on my daughters behalf? Thus according to Social security my wife is
the guardian of my daughter.
a. Would this go on our Joint Return or would my dependent daughter
need file a separate return.

2. Since she is dependent would she qualify for EIC? Child Tax credit?
She is also still attending program through high school that
provides employment with no wage. It is being administered through the
local school district here.

Thanks
George Holmes
