Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your employer should be able to obtain the Temporary Disability Insurance Year-End Statement online from the State of NJ Division of Employer Accounts.  It's your Employer's responsibility to provide you with an accurate W-2, and to correct the W-2 if they didn't include the temporary disability payments.  They certainly do have the ability to correct your W-2.

 

However, if you know the actual amount, you could file your tax return and report that income, but don't add it to your W-2. Enter your W-2 just the way you received it.

 

Instead, follow these steps:
 

  1. On the screen Let's get the details on your 2024 income, scroll down to the bottom, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and click Start.
  2. On Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income, start Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099.
  3.  On Other Wages Received, click Yes, and continue.
  4. Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee.
  5. On Sick or Disability Pay enter the amount that should have been on your W-2.
  6. Continue through the section, answering the questions until you are done.
