Short Term Disability wages from employer

Hello,

 

I received short term disability payments for a couple of weeks in 2020 from my employer.  The wages are included on my W-2, but only FICA taxes were taken out, no Federal, State or Local taxes were paid.  These wages are taxable income, right?  If so, where on the 1040 do I show this and how do I calculate the taxes I owe?

 

 

Thanks,

Debbie

    The short-term disability will be added with your other income to determine the tax due.  Any withholding you had from wages and/or deductions and credits will be deducted so your final amount due or a refund will be determined when you finish entering all your tax information.
