Will my mom get taxed?

Question

My mom is getting a disability settlement of 54,000. This is from social security/ disability.

All of the money she will recieve is back pay from social security disability payments she should have recieved while disabled. Will she be taxed on the money?

Answer 1

no not on a disability settlement. There are no taxes withheld from social security so she will not be taxed, My mom received a check for back pay on social security for 36000 and there were no taxes withheld from it. I was in a car accident and received an insurance settlement of 109,000.00 and I didn't have to pay taxes on it either
