My employer will not put my disability payments on my W2

AA22 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:40:42 GMT

My employer will not put my disability payments on my W2 even after I showed the letter and told him what the website says about the employer being responsible for inputting the taxable amounts onto the worker's (me) W2. He is the CPA that handles payroll and he keeps saying it has nothing to do with them. I'm trying to reach the department of labor but that's a nightmare.

So now what?

Did they put the disability payments on some other document? A 1099 perhaps? Is it for disability that you paid for at work---or that your employer paid for?

no they did not put it anywhere else and my paycheck takes out disability insurance but I believe it was paid out by my employer through the state.....They did get a letter saying they had to report it so...

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:

go to the federal income section
scroll to the bottom
Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
Scroll to the bottom
Other reportable income, Start
