In California, child support can be counted as income if you're buying something and you need to show additional income. The person who receives it pays no income tax on it.

The person who is paying it CAN NOT deduct it as a tax deduction

Nobody answered the original question. I believe the only income that will affect SSDI is W2, earned income. Income from investments does not count, also I believe any 1099 income doesn't. This does not apply to SSI benefits.

Thank You !

I know different rules can apply from state to state. Obviously, I'll check with a lawyer if/when I do get divorced. I just wanted to get a basic idea.

Since SSDI is Federal and is based on your work history it does not vary State to State and is not effected by your earnings as long as they are less than the SGA amount . Since SSI is need based it can vary, depending on your income.
