Well yes and no:
You can file them at one time, but each must be a separate return for a separate year.
Of course you wouldn't want to file them combined because it could substantially reduce
any benefit and very substantially increase the total tax due.
If you didn't have enough income to file...and understand being disabled does not make that true (in fact it frequently makes it false as many forms of disability income itself is taxable, and many people with disability have income of many types anyway), you may have had a refund or a credit of some type due you which filing can still get.
The statute of limitations (the time period before the Government can't review and assess any more tax as due), does not start (and hence, does not ever come into effect), until a return is filed.
No
Disability Income is taxable if your employer paid the premiums for the Disability Insurance or if you paid it through a pretax plan. The best way to know if you have to file the income is if you receive a Tax form such as a 1099 or a W-2 form showing the amount then you will have to file this as income. Disability income is not earned income for the purposed of Earned Income Credit and such.
If your disability payments are through the VA then they are tax free and are not considered taxable income.
You should be able to contact your local Social Security office and request your total disability income for 2007.
In most cases, people who receive benefits from disability insurance will not be required to owe any taxes on that money. However, there are some cases when people with certain income levels will be required to pay taxes on disability insurance income. If a person has disability income and earns a salary that is greater than $25,000 and less than $34,000, then he or she will have to pay taxes on 85% of all disability income received in the past year. If a person earns more than $34,000, then he or she will have to pay taxes on a greater portion of the disability income.
Your wife can sue for alimony based upon her desire for supplemental income. However, if you were not working and she brought in all income, the suit will not win. If you cannot work and have disability income, then you need to contact an attorney so that your disability income is not garnished.
ALL of the other sources of worldwide income that you may be receiving or could be receiving that is NOT for your DISABILITY. If you are receiving social security disability insurance payments for your disability then you are receiving A TYPE OF DISABILITY INCOME. Or some other company paid or privately paid premiums of DISABILITY INSURANCE PAYMENTS that you could be receiving for your disability. It is possible for some of the amounts of the above types of disability payment could also become taxable income to you on your 1040 federal income tax return.
I do not believe that it can. Earned income may be attached but not disability benefits.

Determining if the benefits are taxable depend supon whether the premiums were paid before or after taxes. If before taxes, the disability income you receive is taxable. If youpremiums were paid after taxation, the disability income benefits you receive are not taxable.
