Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are certain that your LTD income is not taxable then you should not include it in your tax return.  You should also not receive a W2 so wait until you do before you stress out - the income may be left out of box 1 showing it as non-taxable for the year anyway.

 

Since it is non-taxable then you should leave it off of the return.  But gather documents supporting your position and keep them just incase.  These should include pay stubs showing that you paid the long term disability insurance premiums through a post tax deduction or proof of payment to the insurance company if the premiums were paid separately.  

 

For any other questions this IRS FAQ is very helpful when it comes to the taxability of long term benefits.
