It depends on your combined income. If Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are your only form of income, you likely do not owe taxes on them. However, your benefits may be taxable if your spouse earns income, or you receive income from another source.

For 2026, up to 50% of your SSDI benefits may be taxable if your combined income exceeds $25,000 for single filers, or $32,000 for joint filers. Up to 85% of your SSDI benefits may be taxable if your combined income exceeds $34,000 for single filers, or $44,000 for joint filers.
