    Taxes on disability income
    I had found my question asked, but no one had answered, so I am asking. This is my first year of having to file taxes by myself since I have been on disability. My disability income is my only income. Do I have to file taxes this year or not? The only deduction from my check is medicare. Help1 I need an answer.:confused:

    If the disability comes from Social Security, it is tax free.

    If it comes from your employer, it IS taxable.

    If you paid for the disability with post-tax money, then it is tax free income.
