For 2010 I was separated from my wife. For the 2010 year she was on SSI. How should I file my taxes? I had to pay her doctor bills and other maintenance expences also. Can I file "head of household" with her as a dependent? or, should I file single?
I don't know full answer, but I am on SSI, and don't pay taxes.
It depends on how much it is.
yes
You will have to pay federal taxes on your Social Security benefits if you file a federaltax return as an individual and your total income is more than $25,000. If you file a joint return, you will have to pay taxes if you and your spouse have a total income of more than $32,000.
No...no company can take any money from you if you get disability, ssi or welfare
You might be obliged to
No. But they can't claim themselves if they file. No. But they can't claim themselves if they file.

You cannot qualify for any of the social security disability or other social security benefits unless you have worked and paid taxes into the Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance (FICA) (social security and Medicare taxes) program. You may be able to qualify for the SSI program. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes): It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. To apply for the SSI program you will have to go to the local SSA in your area for the forms and assistance that you will need in completing the forms correctly.
