You will have to pay taxes on your benefits, and any other income you have. And unless you have money taken out of your benefit checks for tax purposes, (which you wouldn't because they don't normally tax them) you get hit with a huge tax bill in April. It is a bad financial move to get married while receiving Social Security Disability insurance.

You will not be taxed if your combined income is $34,000.00 per year or less. If the combined is more, your Social Security Disability Income can be taxed up to 10% of your yearly earnings.

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.


Can you collect social security disability if you never worked?

Possibly. Under certain circumstances, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits under a spouse's or ex-spouse's (if married at least 10 years) work record, or under a parent's work record if you became disabled before age 22. If you are not eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, a form of welfare that doesn't require you to have a work history. You may also qualify for other state and federal assistance. For more information, contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm EST.
