Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, when filing Married Filing Jointly (MFJ), both spouse's income are included when calculating the $32,000 threshold for SSDI being taxable.
You may be wondering if filing Married Filing Separately (MFS) is going to save you money, because you won't have to add your spouse’s income to your return. It usually won't. There is a special rule that says SS becomes taxable at zero ($0) other income when Filing as MFS.
