I live in Washington State. I have not lived with my husband for over a year. I am trying to figure this all out and get it right.
Thanks

Most likely you would have to pay income tax if taxes were not removed by the gov't/state. For more information contact your financial advisor(the person who does your taxes) and see what he says. That's really the best way to go about it.

SSI isn't taxable and does not get reported on a tax return.
Disability might, depending on it's source. If it's social security disability and you don't have other income except from the SSI, then you'd be OK and would not have to file. Some types of disability income can be taxable though. If the amount you got from disability was under $3300 for the year, you would not have to file in any case. If you got more than that (not counting the SSE) then you need to find out if the disability is taxable or not - ask the people you get it from.

If you are on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Disability Assistance as opposed to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) - people sometimes confuse these - then you do not have to file taxes unless you have had other sources of income in 2006 such as interest, earnings, short or long-term disability, etc. Is there any community property in your marriage that might affect your taxes?
In some states it's beneficial to file nonetheless in order to receive cash such as a renter's rebate; something I was eligible for in California when I was on SSI.
Good luck.

You should read on the back of your SSA-1099 form that they should have sent you telling you the amount you received for 2006. It depends on how much you received as to whether or not you have to file. I also receive Disability and I did not have to file last year or this year. Sometimes you do, though so read the back of your form and if you still have questions, you may need to ask someone at somewhere like H&R Block or one of those places....or the IRS.
I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not they've taken out taxes each month. They've never taken out taxes on me and I still didn't have to file.

SSI is not taxable.
If you are receiving any other disability payments, it depends upon the source.
If it's a state disability program, it's not taxable.
If it's from an employer-sponsored plan that was paid for by the employer or paid for by you with pre-tax offsets from your pay, it's fully taxable.
If it's from an employer-sponsored plan that was partly paid for by your employer and partly paid for by you with after-tax dollars, the portion paid for by your employer is taxable and what you paid for is not taxable. For example, if you paid half of the cost and your employer paid the other half, half of the payments are taxable.
If it's from a plan that you paid for, it's not taxable.

I would think that you need to, but the best thing to do is talk to a tax person.
