That depends on how you
paid the premiums for the short term disability. If the employer shared in the
cost for the premiums, then yes, the short term disability is taxable. The
payments (claim payments) will be taxable based on the proportion the employer
paid towards your premiums, and the portion paid by you if you used after tax
payroll deductions. If you paid for the premiums entirely by yourself
using after-tax dollars, then the payments (claim payments) are not taxable.
