If you're a single filer, you may need to include up to 50% of your SSDI benefits in your taxable income if your income falls between $25,000 and $34,000 (or between $32,000 and $44,000 if Married Filing Jointly) and up to 85% of your benefits if your income exceeds $34,000 (or $44,000 if Married Filing Jointly).

You would not be required to file a tax return. But you might want to file a return, because even though you are not required to pay taxes on your Social Security, you may be able to get a refund of any money withheld from your paycheck for taxes.

You could be eligible for the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit even if you don't usually file a federal tax return.

You report the taxable portion of your social security benefits on line 6b of Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. Your benefits may be taxable if the total of (1) one-half of your benefits, plus (2) all of your other income, including tax-exempt interest, is greater than the base amount for your filing status.

If your tax payments (Line 33) are less than your Total Tax (Line 24), you owe tax. The amount you owe is shown on Line 37. If you did not pay enough tax during the year and owe an underpayment penalty, that amount is shown on Line 38. Page 1 / 1.
