Interestingly, experience has shown that the great majority of people who seem to think they can outsmart the system and do this actually understand it so poorly they actually simply don't get the refunds and benefits they would otherwise be entitiled to! Of course, not filing and paying your taxes is a breach of the law, punishable by financial as well as criminal penalties (many people are in jail for not adhereing with the tax laws), interest, and of course, being suspect and likely heavily scrutinized for all prior and future requirements....not a nice way to live. There is no statute of limitations for how long an unfiled return year can be prosecuted.

Can you file taxes for legal and medical bills if on SSI?

If you want to file a tax return YES you can. SSI (supplement security income) would not be taxable income that you would report on your 1040 income tax return.

If you want to file a tax return YES you can.
