We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I’m confused on filing my disability payments, turbo tax didn’t prompt me with any questions related to disability, this was my first time receiving it so I’m confused

I’m really trying to avoid paying an accountant to help me since my taxes should be super simple, I just have no idea where to report my disability payments, do I even have to?

Are you receiving Social Security disability, or some other sort of disability?   We cannot see any of your information, nor can we see your tax return.

 

If you are getting Social Security disability, you will have a SSA1099 from Social Security.  They mail it in January

 

 Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

 

If the Social Security is your only income, you do not have to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.

 

 

 

If you are getting some other kind of disability payments:

Do you get disability from Social Security or somewhere else?  Did you get a form for it like a SSA-1099 or 1099Misc?

 If you receive a form W-2 or 1099-R, for the income, it is taxable. For a detailed explanation, see:
