Do you have to pay taxes on Long term disability checks received from your employer when you were off work sick? Do you claim them on taxes?

[bluedeb · Accepted solution]

You must report as income any amount you receive for your disability through an accident or health insurance plan paid for by your employer: If both you and your employer have paid the premiums for the plan, only the amount you receive for your disability that's due to your employer's payments is reported as income.
