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.
Disability benefits may be taxable in these situations. The rules for disability benefits are the same as those of regular Social Security benefits. For single filers in the 2008 tax year, if all sources of income plus one-half of your disability money add up to more than $25,000, you will be taxed on your benefits.
