Best Answer

The disability portion of a military pension does not appear on Form 1099-R, and is not taxed. The social security benefits worksheet requires the inclusion of the amounts on all Forms RRB-1099 and SSA-1099, neither of which is veterans' benefits. Social Security disability payments are subject to income tax, and will be included on the Line 20 worksheet.

Stimulus Rebate no file or late file tax return?

IRS has issued a special reminder to an estimated 4.3 million retirees and disable veterans not to let filing for a stimulus payment to pass them by. These individuals may be eligible to receive an economic stimulus payment but are among those who normally do not file a tax return. The agency said it has accounted for 80% of the Social Security and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries initially identified as potentially eligible to receive a stimulus payment. There still remain an estimated 4.2 million people who receive certain Social Security benefits and 178,000 who receive certain Veterans Affairs benefits, IRS said. As explained by IRS, people who have no tax liability and who have no requirement to file a tax return because their income is too low or non-taxable must have at least $3,000 in qualifying income in order to receive a stimulus payment. The qualifying income includes earned income, non-taxable combat pay, and certain benefits from Social Security, Veterans Affairs and Railroad Retirement. Qualifying income from Social Security includes retirement, disability and survivor benefits. Qualifying income from Veterans Affairs includes disability compensation, disability pension and survivor benefits. Qualifying Railroad Retirement Board benefits include the Social Security equivalent portion of Tier 1 benefits. Oct. 15 is also the filing deadline for some 10 million individuals who previously received extensions to file their 2007 income tax return.
