For most people with disabilities who go back to work, paying taxes is not the first thing that comes to mind, nor the most enjoyable. Depending on your income level and your disability, you may not have to pay taxes, but it is important to file a tax return. In fact, some people actually get additional cash benefits.
What are the organizations I need to be in contact with?
- Working individuals must file both federal (national) and state tax returns.
- For the federal government, the Internal Revenue Service is the tax agency.
- For the state government, the Department of Taxation is the office to contact.
- Plan to get help with your taxes from a tax professional. Free tax help can be found by dialing 211 in Hawaii.
