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.
Up to 85 percent of Social Security benefits are subject to federal and state income tax, depending on the taxpayer's income. Benefits subject to federal and state tax include retirement, survivor, and disability benefits, but not supplemental security income (SSI) payments, which are not taxed.
