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.
First off, the Social Security disability benefits that your children receive in your name is their income and only would be reportable as income by them if they had sufficient income that caused it to be taxable. Social Security disability benefits are never taxed to you as custodian. Filing requirements are based on gross income exceeding certain thresholds and also filing status, age, blindness and dependency status.
