My husband is receiving SSDI. When I return to work what is the maximum amount I can make yearly before his SSDI becomes taxed? Does it sway the figures in our favor if I contribute to a 401k? I do not understand why such a rule even exists. He has higher medical bills than most so it is impossible to live off just one income.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I'm unable to answer income tax questions. My only area of expertise is Social Security benefits. You may want to try researching the following Social Security and IRS websites with regard to the tax regulations on Social Security benefits: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/taxes & html https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf.
