Can I file for income tax refund if my income disability

If you do not have taxes withheld from any of your income, you cannot receive a tax refund.

 

Or if you did not pay any type of federal taxes during the year, you cannot receive a tax refund for taxes never paid.

Yes, Military disability and VA benefits are usually tax-free; however, SSDI isn't, so you might get money back.

  • You can file for a tax refund if taxes were withheld from your pay,
  • Or if you qualify for credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

If you are receiving VA disability benefits, those benefits received are not entered on a tax return.

 

If the Social Security benefits is the Only income to be reported on the tax return and there is no federal income taxes being withheld, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return.
