    You can file as Head of Household; disability payments for child will not be taxed; your deductions (standard, dependent one child) will be about $10,500. In addition, you probably will be eligible for earned income credit (about $400). Tax will probably be less than $500...

    You will owe ZERO taxes, because the combination of your Head of Household standard deduction and the personal exemptions for yourself and your son EXCEED your $14,112 income.

    Additionally, you qualify for the Earned Income Credit. With the EIC, your refund is about $4,200.
