No. SS and SSDI are not taxable income so is not included.

Did your dependent have any other type of income in 2021? If so, some of the SSDI (but not SSI) might be taxable.

More generally, though, who/what is asking you how much income your dependent had? Is this for, say, a student loan or something other than income tax?

Still have questions?
