Is rent form HUD (SSI) consider extra income, Is it reported to the IRS?

Answer 1

I think your question may be flawed. As far as I know, HUD and SSI are two separate things. HUD is a federal government agency which administers various housing programs, including the subsidization of rent.

SSI is Supplemental Security Income which is typically provided to disabled individuals. This program is administed by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

I can tell you that in HUD's Section 8 program, SSI is considered a form of income. Yes, SSI income is reported to the IRS. In fact, various federal government agencies are "speaking" with each other about the income of its tenants. For example, HUD's new Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system provides owners and HUD staff with information concerning any income (including SSI) received from the SSA, employment and other types of benefits received. HUD obtains this information from various sources, including the SSA and IRS. This is to ensure that tenant rent is being calculated in accordance with the household's ability to pay as too many households attempt to hide their income.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I don't know what laws apply in Virginia. If you are month to month tenancy, then you only have to give written (and you keep a copy) notice that you will be vacating in 30 days. But check local laws. What you do about your landlord is your business but your actions reflect on your character. You do what is required by law and your conscience is clear. If you feel the need to report her, then do so but to the permit people. If you want to get even about the rent, send her a 1099 for your rent. Anyone can do that and the IRS will see if she's reporting that income or not. But be sure you follow all the rules and send your copies in too or the IRS will come get you.

No it is not but you should contact your SSI counselor to verify and help with your taxes.
