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.
If you do not make more than $25,000 a year and file as an individual or your household income is less than $32,000 per year and you file jointly, you will not have to pay taxes on your Social Security Disability benefits. If your income exceeds those limits, a portion of your disability payments may indeed be taxable.
