    Social Security disability received for a child is in the child's name, and therefore should NOT be on your tax return.

    You will probably have to file a tax return due to the unemployment compensation, which IS taxable.

    YOUR disability, if received from the Social Security Administration or from a private policy which YOU paid for, is tax-exempt.

    If the disability is from your employer, then it IS taxable.
