SSI does not pay taxes. It is a federal welfare program for the aged (mainly illegals) and disabled who never worked long enough in covered employment to qualify for Social Security. Stop confusing the two. Social Security you paid into with taxes from your work. SSI - Supplemental Security Income is WELFARE.
I receive SS payments every month and although taxes are not withheld from them, they count as INCOME and you are taxed on total above a certain amount.
Which is why I feel so conflicted getting it as part of SS disability.
If you are getting part of your disability it means that you worked and paid into the system, unlike many of the "disabled" who managed to find a crooked doctor to exaggerate or falsify their "disability."
