Your VA Disability check is NOT taxable. VA Disability is a compensation NOT earned income.
Medicaid is not taxable nor deductible on a personal tax return unless you are a provider of care and receive payment for such services.
Maybe. Disability payments can considered tobe partially or fully taxable income.
No. VA disability isn't taxable and you won't get a 1099 for this income. If you are also receiving regular military pension, your 1099-R will only include the taxable portion and will not include your VA disability portion.
VA disability does not automatically make one eligible for Medicaid; you will have to submit your medical records to Medicaid. However, it seems likely to me that you would qualify.
Medicare is a Federal program which is the same nationwide. Re: Medicaid, there are significant variations among the States.
VA compensation payments for service connected disability is NOT reported as taxable income on your income tax return.
I do not think so, VA disability is not taxable. I get a 1099-R each year showing my military retirement income but nothing to show my VA disability.
No penalty, as $10,000 is below the Federal Poverty Level for 1 individual, and thus, the person automatically qualifies for Medicaid from their state, and thus, has coverage. The Federal Poverty Level in 2016 will be about $13k for 1 person. In the states with expanded Medicaid coverage (138% of FPL), the person would qualify for Medicaid up to about $17k. Also, note the qualification standard is based on Adjusted Gross Income, NOT Taxable income, which are different. Taxable Income is AGI minus all deductions. So, pedantically, a $10k Taxable Income likely has a higher Adjusted Gross income just enough bigger to go over the $13k limit, so they'd have to pay the $695 penalty for no healthcare coverage in 2016.
I think what you are asking is "is a disabled vet's pay taxable" this depends on the type of disabilty pay the VA is providing.
In that case NO you would not be required to file a tax return.
If your disability payments are through the VA then they are tax free and are not considered taxable income.
