The SSB would ONLY be free of federal income tax when you do NOT have any other worldwide income to be reported on your 1040 income tax return.
If you received Social Security benefits in 2009, you need to know whether or not these benefits are taxable. Here are seven facts the Internal Revenue Service wants you to know about Social Security benefits so you can determine whether or not they are taxable to you. How much -- if any -- of your Social Security benefits are taxable depends on your total income and marital status.
Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income for 2009, your benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return.
If you received income from other sources, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status.
Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured on a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet.
You can do the following quick computation to determine whether some of your benefits may be taxable:
*.First, add one-half of the total Social Security benefits you received to all your other income, including any tax exempt interest and other exclusions from income.
*.Then, compare this total to the base amount for your filing status, if the total is more than your base amount, then some of your benefits may be taxable. From 50% to 85% of your SSB can become taxable income on your 1040 income tax return and would be added to all of your other gross income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.
For additional information on the taxability of Social Security benefits, Go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits.

∙ 12y agoNo, it is not a taxable income. Although they give you a 1099 at the end of the year. I would also check with your state laws and maybe a tax consultant if it is not your only source of income.

If you are receiving benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance, your moving will not affect the reception of benefits at all. Make sure to alert your Security office of your change of address so that you continue to receive correspondence from Social Security and your checks as well. If you are receiving benefits from Supplemental Security Insurance, moving could change the amount you receive in benefits, and it can also alter your eligibility to receive benefits at all. Some states add a payment to the federal SSI and detract this payment from your check each month. If you are moving from a state with no supplementary payment to one that does have one, your disability check will be slightly smaller in the new state. Disability benefits are also tied to income, so if your income changes, your disability payment will likely change as well.
