Hi. I’ve been receiving disability for 9 months 2022 for chemo treatments. The disability payments are coming from my employer plan, Prudential. Should I prepare myself for paying taxes on the disability payments I’ve been receiving?

Did you pay for the disability insurance by having anything withheld from your paychecks--or was it all paid by the employer?

I don’t rethink I paid for the disability insurance. My employer did. The disability is through Prudential but I have paid into SDI since the 70’s but my employer uses Prudential.

It sounds like you are receiving disability benefits that were paid for by your employer---unless you also paid for that insurance through payroll deductions. So it will be taxable income. If the payments are from Prudential they have nothing to do with Social Security disability. The money that has been withheld from your pay for Social Security has nothing to do with the disability benefits you receive from Prudential. If you were receiving Social Security disability benefits, they would be paid from Social Security--not Prudential. Check with your employer if you are not sure if you have been paying for part of the disability insurance with them. Sometimes the employee pays part and the employer pays part. If that is the case, then only the "employer" portion of the benefits would be taxable.
