Well if you do have a disability, then you need to report your expenses accordingly. Taxes will be considered deductible.

Disabled people are normally not required to file taxes since they don't work. If the disabled person works, then they are probably treated the same as normal people. The income they would normally receive is usually given by the government and thus not taxable.

The fact of someone being disabled does not affect how much tax they owe. However, the IRS may be willing to forgive a tax debt if a person is disabled.

Answer by  GilFinn (2065)

The IRS does not treat disability any differently than non-disabled. But assuming you are refering to disability payments, the IRS generally conciders it as non-taxable income in most cases. Even though you may be required to report disability income in some cases, they do not tax you on that income.

Sick pay or disability benefits must be reported on your tax return. Wages that you receive while you are sick or injured must be reported.

Answer by  John (9008)

There are special rules, depending on the type and amount of disability income. Most Social Security disability payments are not taxable, but you should check to be sure.

There are specific deductions that can be claimed if you have certain disabilities, for example blindness. Just having a disability doesn't automatically make a difference otherwise.
