📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Verify disability income reporting
Make sure the disability income is treated as earned income on Form 1040.
If the taxpayer is under the minimum retirement age, and retired on disability, disability income must be reported as earned income on line 7 of Form 1040.
On Form 1099-R, below box 7, the Check if disability and the taxpayer is disabled check box must be marked in order to be considered earned income and be carried to line 7 of Form 1040. You should not mark this check box if the distribution is from an IRA or if the taxpayer is not under minimum retirement age. See the IRS instructions for Form 1040 for more information.
