by: Stephanie

Yes, you may be eligible to claim your disabled wife as a dependent on your tax return, but there are specific criteria to meet:

Qualifying Relative Criteria:

Your wife must meet the IRS criteria for a "qualifying relative." This includes meeting residency, relationship, and income criteria.
Income Limits:

Your wife's gross income should be below a certain limit set by the IRS. As of 2022, the gross income limit for a dependent is $4,300.
Providing More Than Half Support:

You must provide more than half of your wife's total support during the tax year.
It's essential to review the latest IRS guidelines or consult with a tax professional to ensure you meet all the requirements.

by Don
(Siloam Springs, AR)

I receive SSDI payments monthly (for 10 years). SSDI yearly payment of $18030.00. I have not filed taxes in those 10 years.

This past year I gambled, won alot $90,000, but lost $120,000 (with proof). How do I determine how much of the SSDI will be taxable? I'm single and a full time student.

SSDI Income

I receive SSDI income, and my child receives income as my dependent. If that is his only source of income, does he have to file a tax return, or is it necessary for me to claim his income on my own tax return?
