Married Disabled Vet

I am 100% disabled veteran so I receive VA benefits and SSDI. I’m married with kids and my wife works full time. If we file taxes jointly, do we have to claim any of my benefits from VA or SSDI?

You do not enter VA benefits. VA benefits are not taxable and do not get entered on a tax return. Your Social Security SSA1099 must be entered on your joint return, though. That can be taxable and must be included with your spouse's income on the joint return.

If you are married and file jointly, you can report up to $32,000 of income (made up of half of your SSDI benefits plus all of your other income) before needing to pay taxes on your SSDI benefits. Your VA payments are not taxed.
