Can anyone explain why SSDI is subject to federal income tax (after a certain amount) but SSI benefits are not?

That would probably be best answered by the SSA. Call them toll free and ask. Then you can let us know?

When I was approved for SSDI, I was given the the choice on whether or not I wanted taxes taken out. I chose not to. My annul income was to low to require me to file a tax return. That was quite some time ago. I agree SSA will give the info you need.

Perhaps this might help....the first one talks about SSI vs SSDI and taxability.
Are Social Security Disability Benefits Taxable? | Disability Secrets How much of my Social Security disability income (SSDI) is taxable?

It's "supplemental" income, not enough in itself to make you rich enough to pay taxes
 Social Security benefits, however, can."While most recipients will not get as much, the monthly maximum federal SSI payment for 2013 is: $710 for an eligible individual" From: http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/subtopic/c/48 It's on the "bottom," not really income but like food or your housing, just there/a necessity.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
