Are veterans disability pensions taxable

VA Disability Benefits You do NOT include disability benefits you receive from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in your gross income. In particular some of the payments which are considered disability benefits include:

*.Disability compensation and pension payments for disabilities paid either to veterans or their families,

*.Grants for homes designed for wheelchair living,

*.Grants for motor vehicles for veterans who lost their sight or the use of their limbs, or

*.Benefits under a dependent-care assistance program.

The VA publishes an annual benefits booklet, a comprehensive guide for Federal Benefits for Veterans, Dependents and Survivors.

If you are a military retiree and receive your disability benefits from the VA, go to IRS gov web site and use the search box for IRS Publication 525 for more information.
