I was put on disability this past year and received a W2 from the insurance company thats paying my claim. In box 1 it has $23,516.62 and in box 12a it has a J code plus $10,078.55. I was told I didn't have to report or file this W2. Do I have to claim it?

    Yes, you have to report the W-2 on your tax return.  Box 1 $23,516.62 is your reportable Wages, tips other compensation. 

    The $10,078.55 in Box 12 Code J is not subject to tax it is reported but not included in your taxable income.
