You should receive a Form W-2 reporting your short term disability benefits. 

The Form W-2 should show either :

If it's taxable, you should have an amount in box 1, report it as a normal W-2.  OR 

If it's not taxable, there should be a code J in box 12 only, do not report as it is considered as nontaxable sick pay. 


To enter your Form W-2 in TurboTax online program, go to:

1. Sign into your account and select Take me to my return

2. At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in W-2 and Enter 

3. Select Jump to w-2 

4. On screen, Whose W-2 do you want to work on?, make your selection and select Continue
