My wife and I had a total of $41,000 of SSDI benefits in 2018 and $20,000 In Pension. How much of Our SSDI is taxable?

You can use the calculations below to determine how much of your SSDI is taxable. But it looks like about 50% may be taxable.  If you enter it all into TurboTax you will come up with the exact amount.

Your adjusted gross income 
+ Nontaxable interest 
½ of your Social Security benefits 
= Your "combined income"
