I am a single mother receiving social security disability. Do I need to file a tax return?

Drmblvr40:

If the disability income is your only source of income and you have not received a multiple-year back payment, then you probably do not have enough income to file.

Disability income is not considered earned income, so you are not eligible for the Earned Income Credit, so there is no reason for you to file.

If I am single and on disability do I need to file tax on my disability

Probably not, no!

What is the source of the disability? Government? Military? Private policy? From your employer?

The first three are NOT taxable.

The last one (From your Employer) IS taxable, because it is considered a replacement of your salary.

My husband and I are on disability and together we draw about 27,00.00 But we are paying a lot of interest out on our house and wondered if we could file for that if we don't pay taxes out of our checks ?

Sorry, but if you have no taxable income, there is no need to file a tax return.

I would like to know , if I can file the interest paid on my mortgage, personal property tax, etc. When my only income was workmans compensation disability checks

To the last poster, the answer is NO. Workmen's compensation is NOT taxable, and if it is your ONLY source of income, you have NO filing requirement.

Am receiving ss benififs plus retirement disabilit from work do I have to filee late

To Frank:

The retirement disability is probably taxable income.

I have been on SSDI for 2 years and the IRS are requesting me to file for last year and this is my only source of income.

Social Security Disability, by itself, is NOT taxable income.

If you have no other taxable income, there is NO reason to file a tax return.

I just left my husband and not sure what I'm supposed to do about Taxes.
I'm on disability and he worked off and on this past year and than put in for an extension but still hasn't done anything about them. Will I be held responsible and if so what should I do?

File the return by yourself as Married Filing Separately and that will cover you.

I would like to know if I can file taxes for 2013. I get ssi disability, and I have an in home daycare for extra income. I understand that you cannot go over an certain amount of money, I have made about 12000 off that. Can I file taxes? [email protected]

You not can file a tax return, you MUST file a tax return with Schedules C and SE.

I think you should send your husband his paperwork, so he can take care of it. You are being horrible about this, and are making things worse for me and everyone else, including you.
I can't get a job without my papers, I can't get insurance without my papers, and the doctors have found something on my lung with an x-ray.
after all I've done for you and your medical issues, you could sure do the right thing and send me my papers.

by the way, how did you post this on the first, when you left me on the 5th

My husband and I are both on social security disability plus he gets money from the VA due to his disability is this taxable income or we don't need to file?
Thank You,

VA disability is not taxable, nor is it considered as othet income to determine taxability of SS Disability, so you need not submit a tax return.

Can I file taxes if I received multiple year backpay from disability and am now receiving regular disability payments. Can the backpay be taxable income?

Yes, a lump sum payment of disability DOES have to be declared on an annual tax return, and it MAY be subject to income taxes, depending on your overall financial situation.

I'm on disabilty and my wife doesn't work and has a dependent can we file a return and claim the dependent,plus house int and other tax we paid through the year.

It depends on whether the disability is taxable or not.

Disability paid by an employer IS taxable, while Social Security Disability normally is NOT taxable.

Also, if you purchased a disability policy and are collecting from that policy, those payments are NOT taxable.
