Thank you so much for answering my post! I retired from active duty in 2009 where I was given a 70% service- connected disability rating. Because I am over 50% disabled, I receive Concurrent Retired and Disability Pay (CRDP) which allows me to receive my full retirement and full disability. My disability rating was recently raised to 90% with an "Individual Unemployability" determination which pays me at the 100% rate and is retroactive to September 2022. I also received a determination letter from the VA which shows my higher disability rating and has a table which shows the amount withheld by month. The reason I was in the other income section was to see if IRS Pub 525 applied to my situation. I have read the publication concerning the retroactive disability determinations and how to apply it to my taxes, but it says nothing about taking CRDP into account, so my question is does it apply in my situation? If so, then I would just use the amounts listed as withheld on the determination letter, correct? AmyC, I truly do appreciate you taking the time to help me with my question.
