Social Security disability benefits can be taxed under certain situations, but in most cases, the actual amount of taxes due is minimal. Recipients can even have those taxes automatically withheld from their benefits if they decide that is the easiest method.
Just how much of your benefits can be taxed are determined by the following rules: If you are single, and your income plus half the disability money is more than $25,000 and less than $34,000, then up to 50 percent of the Social Security benefits will be taxable. If the total is higher than $34,000, up to 85 percent of the benefits can be taxed.
