No, SSD is not taxable if it is your only income. Ignore the other answers, they don't know what they're talking about.

If you received a lump sum payment from SSDI, then it is very possible that some of it will be taxed. If your other income plus 1/2 of the SSDI benefit paid to you in 2007 is more than $25,000, you will have tax due on the SSDI (the amount is $32,000 if you are married).

If the SSDI amount is large enough for you to owe taxes, you have another way to figure your taxes. This involves going back to each year for which you are now receiving SSDI, and figuring your increased taxes when the SSDI payments for each of those years is added to your other income. If the total taxes from this computation is less than the tax owed when you include the lump sum in the current year, you are allowed to pay the lower amount.

If this applies to you, you may want a knowledgable tax preparer to figure it for you. The preparer will need your prior year tax returns (or income information if you did not file).

Looking ahead, if your SSDI in future years is your only income, or if the number as figured above ($25,000 or $32,000) has not been reached, then no taxes will be owed.

It is treated just like the current SSDI payments. If you have enough other income, some of it might be taxable.
