Do I need to file income taxes?

Question

I recieved almost $6000.00 in Social Security Disability Income, State Disabiltibilty as of 05/06 and $700.00 earned income from my previous employer that was accrued during my medical leave.

Answer 1

It is to your advantage to file. You can still get money back.

Answer 2

I believe that if you received any form of income for 2006, you need to file a return. Even when I was in college and only making a few thousand dollars a year from minimum wage work-study jobs, I had to file a return. I am also currently on disability for 4 weeks due to shoulder surgery, and my employer told me that I will receive a W-2 form at the end of the year for the money I was paid while on disability, so that I could report it on my tax return. If you're really unsure about what to do, talk to a tax representative, like H&R Block.

Answer 3

No you do not have to file. The Disability is tax free up to a certain level based on your filing status. If the employer withheld taxes you can file to recover what was withheld. Good luck.

Answer 4

I believe you do because you did have earned income from your former employer. Make sure though by asking s.s.

Answer 5

Not likely. Social security disability is not taxable for that amount.
