Let estimate your 2009 taxable income.
So far following will be included into your gross income:
$1659 in wages
$1700 distribution from an IRA - as you are disabled - no penalty for the distribution.
$6704 distribution from an insurance annuity - it might be not fully taxable - you should recover tax free the cost your paid into the annuity.
Your total taxable income besides SSD benefits -
$1659 + $1700 + $6704 = $10063
To determine if any of your social security disability benefits are taxable - here is the test: $10063 (your other taxable income) plus $14408/2 (half of your SSD benefits) = $17267 - and because that amount is less than $25,000 (for singles) - none of your SSD benefits are taxable.
So your estimated taxable income will be $10063
standard deduction for 2009 - $5700
personal exemption $3650
taxable income $713
estimated tax liability $71
Please verify if you received from SSA $250 rebate ? If not - you may claim additional Making Work Pay credit.
With $3000 in medical expenses - your itemized deduction will be less than the standard deduction for 2009 - $5700 - but if you have any other expenses to include - property or real estate taxes, charitable contributions, mortgage interest etc - you may save up to $71
Let me know if you need any help.
You will only benefits from itemized deduction if your total amount will be above the standard deduction for 2009 - $5700.
So far - I do not see that we could come ever close to that amount - and most likely you will use the standard deduction.
The house insurance, and utility expenses are not deductible.
