Are social security disability payments taxable?

In: Federal Laws, Retirement Planning, Social Security [Edit categories]

Answer:

The general rule of thumb is no, SSDI or SSI are not taxable provided they are the only source of income for an individual or family, however if an individual or family receives income from other sources (private work pensions, part time work, etc.) they may have a tax liability for a portion of the benefits received. In these circumstances it is best to consult a tax attorney preferably one who deals with these issues on a somewhat regular basis.
