Publication 907 Tax Highlights for Those With Disabilities

[Guest guest]

I've uploaded the pdf version of this IRS publication. Please go to page 4

where it states that SSI is not taxable. Also note Page 6 where it addresses

other payments that are not taxable.

Other Payments: Benefit payments from a public welfare fund. I do believe that

Medicaid and the home based waiver funds are considered public welfare funds.

This could mean that these funds are not considered 'self support' from the

child.

Any questions you have on this should be addressed to your professional tax

preparer.
