    There is not a Disability Benefits Deduction on a federal tax return.  Are you referring to a state tax return?

    There is no "disability benefits deduction" section.    Social Security disability is taxable income if you have other income.   If the SS is your ONLY income you do not have to file a tax return at all unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.

     

    If you have other kinds of income in addition to the SS, you may need to file a return.

     

    You need to file a federal return if half your Social Security plus your other income is

    Married Filing Separately            $0

     

     

    Who has to file?
