I was on private disability for part of last year - do I declare it when i do my taxes?

Yeah you should declare it as it will most likely count as unearned income.

The standard (with no extenuating circumstances) is no penalty after 59 & 1/2, but it will be subject to normal income tax. One of the key questions is: "Have you been officially judged as disabled by Social Security," because if so, there are some different rules for you, and you need to check with Soc Sec at www.SSA.gov.

That note stating you have a disability, no matter how mild, will help.  You will still have to fill out lots of paperwork at the disability office in Quebec and give them a copy of that note.  They may even need to doctor to fill out additional paperwork.

It took my ex husband two years to get it, and he was all messed up.  I worked for the Disability Determination Board in Little Rock several years ago, and they automatically deny all claims initially, at least they did then.  That was in 1980.

if you were deducting expenses or depreciation for the car on your tax return, then yes.\n\nif you are in a trade or business of selling cars, then yes.\n\nif it is just a sale of your personal vehicle, no.

Your filing status is based on what it was on Dec. 31.  If by 'this year' you mean 2005, you're single or head of household;  if you mean 2006, you're either head of household, or married filing jointly or separately

First, if you got hurt at work then see if filing for workman's compensation benefits are appropriate.  If that's not the case, apply for unemployment and disability.  You are going to need a Doctor to declare you disable or partially disable. Check out the Social Security Website for how to apply for disability.   If labor type jobs are what you did primarily, your unemployment office will direct you as to how about being retrained.  Third, do not wait for your money to run out, apply for assistance, food stamps and the like.  Never be to proud to eat.  And last consider going back to school, you are never to old to learn something new.

More than likely you will need to apply for SSI disability which is much less that Social Security Disability but is much faster to get approved on.  The good thing is once you are put on Social Security Disability they make it retro-acative back to the date you filed for it.

You are talking about filling out the W-4 at work, I'm assuming.  The more exemptions claimed, then the less tax they take out during the year.  But when you go to file (in April), if you claimed 2 during the year and you are single, you will most likely owe tax, and may be subject to a penalty.  Best to claim 0 now.  The best way to approach tax issues, is to come out even (i.e., no owe, or no refund).

Sorry, but no.  You would have to have mortgage insurance on your home that includes disability.  If you are concerned that you may become disabled you need to contact your mortgage company and/or your insurance agent for information.  If you are currently disabled purchasing this coverage now  would not cover you after the fact.  \n\nIt would be a good idea to contact your mortgage company to find out what coverages you currently have.  Sometimes we forget what we do have.  I purchased my home about 8 years ago and I had to check my loan paperwork to double check coverages.  Good luck.

You will have to wait until next year to file that income since it was recieved in 2006.  What you can do is pay estimated taxes on the amount you just recieved if you haven't already been taxed on it.

Disability insurance purchased individually is expensive. Also, if you are an independent consultant, be sure that your disability payment will be based on your past earnings -- perhaps a five year running average. Otherwise, if you have a bad year, your disability insurance could get away with paying you little or nothing if you ever actually need it. \n\nYou can only get coverage up to a certain percentage of your income. Even if you get as much disability insurance as possible, in most areas of Canada and the US, you can only collect a maximum of 80% of your pre-disability income. Your lowest cost option will be for a policy that will provide you with 60% of your income. Given that you are getting this policy individually, and are paying for it with after tax dollars, any payments to you will be tax free.

Look at any of your previous annual or quarterly tax returns. anything you receive from IRS or state taxing agency should have this number prominently displayed. if you are a sole proprietorship or you are a new business, it most likely is your SSN

None. If you are an independent contractor, you should provide the contract for the other party to sign if they want your services. This contract should stipulate what services are being provided and the schedule of payment to you. When February rolls around the next year, the other party provides you with a 1099 form as a statement of what you were paid so that you can report the earnings to your accountant. If the amount of money was less than $500, then the other party does not have to provide a 1099. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for your expenses, which are a business deduction. Keep records diligently!

Actually, you need to include the recovery amount as part of your gross income the year you got them.\n\nFor instance, you got 2001 taxable year state refund in 2004.  You need to include the 2001 state refund (part or all) in the tax year 2004.\n\nAnyhow, you should have got a 1099-G in the year 2004.\n\nOf course, Pub 525 tells you how to determine what is the correct amount of recovery. \n\nI received a Form 1099-G, for my state tax refund. Do I have to include this amount as income on my return?\n\nIf you did not itemize your deductions on your Federal tax return for the same year as the state or local tax refund applies to, do not report any of the refund as income. \n\nIf you itemized deductions on your Federal tax return for 2003, and received a refund of state or local taxes in 2004, you may have to include all or part of the refund as income on your 2004 tax return. Report your taxable State or Local Refunds on Form 1040, Line 10. You cannot use Form 1040A or 1040EZ. Refer to Tax Topic 405, Refund of State and Local Taxes , and Publication 525 , Taxable and Nontaxable Income , for further information.

The amount is dependent on few things,did you work? How old are you? Whether you receive it or not,depends on the severity of the disability or whether you are a child of a disabled parent (guardian)?
