BT65:
The whole time I've been on disability (almost 14 years) I've never had to file taxes. I never do owe anything, therefore I never have to file.

Miss Philicia:
But do you receive this form, Betty?

Found this on the internet

"Fifty percent of SSDI benefits are taxable if annual adjusted gross income is $25,000-$34,000 for an individual, $32,000-$44,000 if married and filing jointly. Eighty five percent of SSDI benefits are taxable on annual income exceeding $34,000 for an individual, $44,000 if married and filing jointly."

Every year (for the past 12), I pick up the Tax paperwork booklet at the Post Office for the IRS and the State of California Franchise Tax Board. There is a form inside (probably the one everyone has discussed). I do the math and fill out that form. Disability is in most states 100% below poverty lever, I've never owed so I file the form away for future reference. I have spent a couple of years as the volunteer press contact for the Sonoma County Commission on AIDS. My friends and family have been aware of my HIV status since the beginning. Disclosure is a personal issue which is different for all of us and since organizations and programs, which I either do/have/ or may benefit from my status has been on the front page of papers and on news specials. I am an Activist and that is what I do. Have the best day

Yes David, I get that form (SSA-1099). I do the worksheet and I never owe taxes, so I don' file.
