I'm not sure what you are asking, but "disability" is not an income tax filing status. Any disability benefits you received may be taxable to you as income; that depends on a lot of different factors. You should seek the help of a good income tax preparer (preferably a really good CPA or enrolled agent) to help you figure out the correct way to file your income taxes. Best wishes to you.
