As a 100% disabled veteran, must I file a tax return?

You are perfectly correct in your response but didn't answer my question.   My question concerns a military retiree who was awarded 100 % service connected disability.  Is my military retirement pay subjected to Federal Income Tax?  I understand that a military retiree who was awarded 30% disability is given a 30% relieffrom the Federal Income Tax and taxed only 70% of the retirement pay.  What about a military retiree with 100% service connected disability?  Is he given 100% relief from the Federal Income Tax?

@Yawata If you are receiving military retirement pay and NOT Military Disability Retirement Pay then the retirement pay is taxable federal income.

Go to this website for information - https://myarmybenefits.us.army.mil/Benefit-Library/Federal-Benefits/Federal-Taxes-on-Veterans-Disabi...

 

Go to IRS Publication 525 page 18 Military and Government Disability Pensions - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p525.pdf#page=18
