That depends on if you earned or had other investment income.

If you only had disability, you are not required to file a tax return.

Being disabled does not exempt you from filing a tax return if you have taxable income that is over the minimum amount for filing.

 

Go to this IRS website for who needs to file a tax return - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/who-needs-to-file-a-tax-return

 

Do you have taxable income from work, interest, dividends, investment sales or the like?
