Income tax refunds are based on tax that was withheld or previously paid. There is normally no withholding tax on social security.
You might, however, qualify for Earned Income Credit, or be able to collect a refund based on payments in a previous tax year.

Does a married couple have to file joint taxes if one is on Social Security and the other is on Disability?
It is possible for some of the social security benefits to become taxable on any individuals income tax return. Your question about the other being on Disability is not clear because it does not specify what kind. How much, if any, of your social security benefits are taxable depends on your total income and marital status. Generally, if social security benefits were your only income for 2009, your benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return. If you received income from other sources, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status. Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured in a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet.
Do you pay taxes on your income tax refund?
A Federal income tax refund is not taxable income (for state or Federal purposes) in the year a taxpayer receives it.A state income tax refund for a previous tax year, however, may be another story. It will be Federal taxable income in the year in which the taxpayer receives the refund, if he itemized deductions on the previous year's Federal income tax return.Suppose a taxpayer files his 2010 Form 1040, and itemizes his deductions. Following the instructions for the 1040, he deducts $500 withheld as state income tax (shown on his W-2) in computing his 2010 Federal taxable income. He then prepares his state income tax return and discovers that he owes only $435 in state income tax, and is due a refund of $65 (the difference between the $500 withheld and his actual liability of $435). His actual state tax liability was only $435, but he had deducted $500 from his 2010 Federal taxable income, so when he gets the $65 refund in 2011, he must include it in 2011 income for Federal income tax purposes to make up the difference.However, if the state refund was for a tax year for which the taxpayer did not itemize deductions on his Federal tax refund (i.e., he took the standard deduction), it is not taxable income to him.

Understanding Your Taxable Social Security Benefits?
These days, there are many elderly people who depend on social security as a main source of income. For some people, social security benefits are their only form of income. If this is your case, then you will not be required to pay taxes on your social security benefits. Social security benefits that are the only source of income for an individual do not need to be taxed. However, if your modified adjusted gross income exceeds the limit set forth by the IRS, then your social security benefits will be taxed. For a single person, the income amount is set at $25,000.
