Hi @Ckinloch13 and thanks for your question!
The amount of your benefits that is taxable will be reported to your employer in January of the year following the receipt of your benefits. It is your employer's responsibility to include that information on your W-2 annual earnings statement, often listed as "third party sick pay" or "other wages." Keep in mind, benefits are federally taxable during the year that payments are issued, which may not always match up with when your leave occurred. For example, if you file an application for a period of disability in December 2022 but payments are not issued until January 2023, they will not be included on your W-2 for 2022.
If your Temporary Disability benefits are not reported on your W-2 (often listed as "third party sick pay" or "other wages"), contact your employer directly to have it corrected. The New Jersey Department of Labor does not issue W-2s to Temporary Disability Insurance recipients.
Keep in mind, Temporary Disability Insurance benefits are not taxed by the State of New Jersey.
