What is TAPS? The Texas Association of Public Schools Property and Liability Fund (TAPS) is a self-insurance pool set up under the Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act on September 1, 2001. Membership is limited to public school districts, community colleges and education service centers.
Disability benefits you receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aren't taxable and don't need to be reported on your return. However, Military Disability Retirement pay could be taxable if reported on form 1099-R.
As of 2017, the dependent must earn less than $4,050 in taxable income. The good news is that Social Security checks are normally excluded. Thus, if the disabled person is drawing Social Security disability checks, this income does not count toward the taxable income.
