Entering SSDI Disability payments

How should I enter disability payments in ESPlanner. Just treat it as ordinary income? I believe the IRS taxes it to 85% of its value depending on other income sources.

Adding disability benefits to
Adding disability benefits to ESPlanner is on our to-do list.
You can use special receipts to model SSDI prior to FRA. Since disability benefits convert to a regular retirement benefit at FRA you can input them as on the Social Security tab.

Dan thanks. Entering them on
Dan thanks. Entering them on the SSA tab worked out better than special receipts as I was able to then use that for spousal benefits. I just entered the amount my wife gets now and put a start date as of today.
