Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, Expression,

This looks like a new post related to an old one, so I am jumping in w/o full background, but hopefully this will address your concerns. If not, please do follow up with us!

We recommend you contact the Social Security office regarding the impact of earned income on your disability payments. Here's what I did find:

IRC Section 6103(l)(1) provides that return information related to taxes imposed under chapters 2, 21, and 24 may be disclosed to the Social Security Administration (SSA) as needed to carry out its responsibilities under the Social Security Act. Chapter 2 relates to self-employment income and does not normally concern employers. Chapter 21 concerns Social Security and Medicare (FICA) tax, and chapter 24 deals with income tax withholding.

The IRS may therefore share information with SSA about Social Security and Medicare tax liability if necessary to establish the taxpayer's liability. This provision does not allow the IRS to disclose your tax information to SSA for any other reason. SSA employees who receive this information are bound by the same confidentiality rules as IRS employees. Therefore, they generally cannot disclose the information to a state Social Security Administrator (SSSA), state officials or other federal agencies.

While we don't speak for the SSA, it does appear you are required to report wage and other income to the SSA. Here's a link about that.

Hope this helps!
