Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you were placed on short term disability due to your foot injury, then the weekly paychecks that you received may not be taxable depending on whether you or your employer paid the premiums for the short term disability insurance.

 

If you paid the premiums through payroll deductions, then the payments you received are not taxable and would not be included on your return.  That may be the reason you did not receive a tax document reporting the amount you received.

 

If your employer paid the premiums for the short term disability coverage, then the payments you received would be taxable and you should have received a tax document.  

 

If your weekly payments during the time of your injury were being paid by a third party, try contacting that company for further information.
