In the income information form what do I do if I only have disability income but not taking taxes out of it

Enter your income information exactly as it appears on the document you have.  If there is nothing in the box for tax withheld then leave that box blank when you key in your information.  

 

What sort of disability income do you have?  If it is Social Security disability, and it is your ONLY income you do not need to prepare  tax return.   If you have other income besides the disability you might need to prepare a tax return.

If you are using the LIVE option and they have asked you to fill in an INFO Worksheet  and you have no income from any source then the income section will simply be left blank.  If you filed last year to get the stimulus credit and/or the Child tax credit be aware those are no longer available.  

 

 

If the Social Security benefits  is your ( and your spouse’s if married) only income then  there is no need for you to file a  tax return UNLESS one or more of these apply :

 

  • You had federal/state taxes withheld that can be refunded
  • You received advance premium tax credit for health insurance from the ACA Marketplace (aka "Obamacare") 
  • You took money out of Health Savings Account (HSA) or Medical Savings Account (MSA).
  • You are married filing a separate return from your spouse and you lived together during the tax year OR   you are filing a joint return and the spouse has income other than SS benefits.
