I receive foodstamps, and Ive heard somewhere before that welfare is NOT taxed. Is this true?. Do I have to claim my foods stamps as money i receive, is there anywhere where i check that i receive welfare on my tax return?

No. Welfare is tax-free money.
Food stamps do not have a cash value to claim.

Welfare, including food stamps, is NOT taxed, so you don't claim food stamps or your welfare check on your tax return.

No, food stamps are not considered taxable income. At least not on your Federal return. When it comes to state taxes, YMMV.

No it does not go anywhere on your tax return, child support does not either.
