    Assuming you are in the US and it's straight disability, not income related benefits, your wife's income does not matter and, yes, you still have to file tax returns.

    Yes we are from usa. I will be on straight disability. She just wants to try to get some bills pd off. I haven't worked in a few yrs. Someone told us "we would have to pay in on taxes if we/she made tooo much money". Thanks

    If you file jointly, your disability pay MAY become taxable. It depends on HOW MUCH she makes.
