0 rpowell01 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nope I just found out navy...Here is how it works. Your VA comp is not calculated in as income for SSDI tax. Here is the other one. Your kids dependent payments are NOT taxable either and are NOT calculated as income as part of your SSDI income. Only YOUR SSDI income and your wife's incomes are calculated. Here is how it works: If you are married and file a joint return, you may have to pay taxes on 50 percent of your benefits if you and your spouse have a combined income that is between $32,000 and $44,000. If your combined income is more than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your Social Security benefits is subject to income tax. So, if you and your wife's income; Your SSDI (just yours not any dependents payouts) and your wife's income is over $32,000 then I would go to the SSDI office and have them take out the percentage you choose. Its something like 7%, 10% and so on. I don't know the rest of the numbers. Myself we only went over the 32,000 limit by 700 dollars I its not even worth having them take it out. I will just pay it in at the end of the year. It will just minus what I will receive is all how it works. If you need more help on this let me know. All the information is all on the internet by using google and asking the correct question. Barbamatt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Notorious Kelly Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I believe Vet's comp is not used in any income determination and, if you have no income other than disability, I don't think SSDI is taxable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Berta Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Right......I just dropped off my tax stuff to my tax lady..... She always needs my SSA 1099 form and also the letter I get from VA annually as to my DIC payment. A few years ago I gave her something I got from the VA web site that verified the non taxable nature of the DIC....This is a small farm community and she was not too familiar with DIC when I met her.

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Founder Tbird Posted March 22, 2014 Founder Share Posted March 22, 2014 Your VA Disability Compensation is NOT counted as income, you do not receive a 1099 nor do you list it on tax return.
