Social Security disability benefits can be taxed under certain situations, but in most cases, the actual amount of taxes due is minimal. Recipients can even have those taxes automatically withheld from their benefits if they decide that is the easiest method.
If your disability benefits are subject to taxation because your income is above these limits, your disability benefits would be taxed at your marginal tax rate. In other words, you would not pay taxes of 50% or 85% of your benefits, you would probably pay taxes of about 10-15% on 50%-85% of your benefits.
