How to file disability--I had a part-time seasonal job in 2017 (I only made $1000) and received a 1099--do I need to file?

You have to file a tax return if you have a 1099-misc, for over $400; because social security and medicare tax are due, even if you owe no income tax.

Social security only becomes taxable when added to sufficient other income. If you are otherwise required to file a tax return, you do need to enter it in Turbotax (TT). TT will determine the taxable portion.

Social security (including SSDI) becomes taxable when your income, including 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly(MFJ): $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year: $0

I'm having difficulty in understanding the answer I received--it's probably just me!
