Do you have to pay tax on your Social Security disability income?
Yes, Social Security income is taxable. Most people, however, do not end up paying any tax. About one-third of people on disability will pay some tax.
This is because when other income, such as a spouse's income, is added--tax may be due.
The rule of thumb is this: If you file as a single taxpayer and your total annual income is less than $25,000 (from all sources, including Social Security) no tax is due. If your income from all sources totals more than $25,000, you will have some tax due.
If you are married and filing a joint return, total combined income may be taxable if it is $32,000 or more, including Social Security benefits.
