Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Disability payments are only taxable if the employer paid the insurance. If you paid, it is not taxable to you. If you both paid part of the premiums, then part of it is taxable. So, the first question, is it really taxable to you? If not, the it does not go on the w2/1099.

 

If you determine you have taxable income and the employer will not provide the w2, then you will want to enter it as other income. 

Follow these steps:

  1. go to the federal income section
  2. scroll to the bottom
  3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
  4. Scroll to the bottom
  5. Other reportable income, Start
  6. Other taxable income?
