The money received from VA disability is untaxable/unclaimed income that does not have to be reported. Bergie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Tbird Posted December 27, 2010 Founder Share Posted December 27, 2010 This can get confusing for example we have real estate tax credit in my state, I have to check a box saying that I get VA benefits at 100% but I only list income from Social Security and that is the only income they count. On the other hand about 2 years ago I had to file bankruptcy, they couldn't take any of my VA money, but they did count it as income to figure out what I would have to pay. I had to file a Chapter 13 and pay each month for 3 years, this is my last year. Yeah! I imagine if they had not counted my VA my payments would have been lower, but they say it's legal to do it that way. So what you gonna do. I just pay it and hopefully this year will go by fast and I'll be all done with them. I would call the office that handles this AZ and get the skinny from them.

Tbird, I had this happen to be recently in Virginia. I put in for disability exemption for real estate taxes and when I filled out the paper work it only asked for SS payments and railroad I think? Anyhow did not put VA payments down. They called me and said they have to include ALL INCOME and that included my VA. With that added in and the wife's we made to much!? Will not have to do that in Virginia now because they just passed an amendment to the Virginia constitution exempting all 100% P&T vets without regard to income! looking forward to not having to pay taxes!! This is a great benefit finally in a state that lives and breathes military! Edited December 29, 2010 by stillhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
