Depends on your other income, if any.  Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask them - they're actually pretty helpful.

SSI is Supplemental Security Income.It is given to people who are disabled but don't have enough work credits to qualify for disability through Social Security.And I believe it is usually given through the welfare office.\nSSD is Social Security Disability.It is given to people who have enough work credits paid into the Social Security system.You have had to pay enough into it to qualify.\nI totally understand what your friend is going through.I have been receiving SSD for a few years.People always assume I am getting welfare.My check is based on what I made during the 20+ years that I worked.\nSSI checks are usually smaller than SSD checks,unless you didn't earn much money while you worked.Either way,it isn't enough to live off of.

Usually a person keeps the disability income (if it is Social Security) because being married does not affect whether or not you are disabled.  Other programs, such as Food Stamps, help with Medicare premiums and medication may be affected due to the increas in income in the household.  Check www.SocialSecurity.com for details.

If you get pd on a 1099 you pay your own federal tax and self employment tax. If I were you I would think of the deductions you would be able to take. If there is not a bunch than I would get paid on a w2. I have done may peoples taxes that have not owed a tax but have had to pay in the self employment tax ( social security 6.2% and medicare 1.45% tax. It can really hurt you

FICA is your Social Security tax.  SDI is your State Disability Insurance.  You do not get a refund for either one.

Its not taxed. you may have to pay taxes. I have a family of me and my son, Ig ot a tatol of $24,000 back from SSI, I didnt have to pay taxes on any of it. Cause of how many people live in my household. Call the IRs and ask them. They will be able to tell you. Also ask SSI the amount of your back pay. then call the IRs, They will be able to tell you better.

I'm sorry for your loss.\n\nIf you are on Social Security Disability (Title 2), there shouldn't be any penalty.  There are no asset limits for Disability.  BUT, there are penalties if you are on Supplemental Security Income (SSI, Title 16).  You could lose your benefits then.  If you are getting $603/mth and Medicaid, then you're on SSI.  If you are collecting off of your's or a parent's or spouse's earnings, you are getting SSDI.

If you're in the US, your taxes will only go down if your income does.  But there are a few things that reduce it a bit.  At 65 you get a higher standard deduction. Also, depending on your non-social-security income, none or only part (up to 85%) of your social security is taxed - this does not depend on your age.

If you are on Social Security your are not required to file taxes unless you have earned income.

If the problem is with the IRS, you should call the IRS ombudsman, whose number should be in the phone book under US Government - IRS.\n\nIf your only income is from SSDI, your distribution can only be assessed for taxes and only up to 15%.\n\nI don't see how any information from your previous employer is relevant to anything.

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.

If you are both disabled, then yes -- it will not effect the other's status or pay.  I'm on SSDI and my wife makes substantially more than I do with no effect on my benefits.

As much as 85% of Social Security income is taxable at the federal level at your  tax rate.  Your other income, filing status, and marital status determine how much of the Social Security income is taxable to you.\n\nPensions are fully taxable at the federal level, some governmental pensions are not fully taxed at state and local levels.

Income tax is, well, tax on income.  ANY income. \n\nPayments received from Social Security are considered income.  Therefore it is taxed as part of your total income when filing at the time of receipt.

It isn't that simple, I got SSD and didn't expect it.  Income had decreased and no longer able to work at the lower level.  They explained to me that if you are not able to work at the level you are trained SSI doesn't expect you to work at lower level.  Now if you choose to get a low paying job, it will not affect your benefits, if on SSI but SSD you are limited to 500 dollars and that mayhave changed.

Some time ago, when you reached 72, your social Security benefits would no longer be effected by income from other sources.  That is no longer the case.  It has never been that income tax is no longer paid at any give age.  You do get an additional exemption amount based on being over 65.
