It depends on how much it is.
SSI
If SSI is the only income that you and your spouse, if married, receive then you will not be required to file an income tax return for the Federal Government.
Yes, this is a very common practice. Unless you only received SSI payment they can recoup back taxes.
SSI is Supplemental Security Income. SSI benefits aren't taxable. For this reason, Social Security Administration doesn't report your benefit amount to the IRS. That's also why they don't send you a 1099 or another income information reporting form. Also you don't pay state income taxes on SSI benefits

SSI is administered by Social Security and is funded by general revenues - taxes, etc.

SSI
Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI) is not taxable; therefore, there is no method for withholding income taxes from it. To have Federal income taxes withheld from Social Security Benefits: http://www.ssa.gov/taxwithhold.html
No. SSI beneficiaries are exempt from paying child support (except for past-due support). Child support cannot be garnished from SSI payments.
Ireceive a small social security and ssi amount. If i will receive unemployment benefits will if affect my ssi?
need support with paying rent and utility bills on SSI
You can not. The Federal Government does this every day. Tax liens are placed and property seized all the time for this purpose. You really can not get away from paying the full tax for SSI.
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?
