income, if the benefits you received are truly nontaxable (most likely, then you do
not need to report them in any way on your tax return. However,
sometimes disability payments can be taxable, depending on
who paid the insurance premiums for the disability policy. Therefore,
it
is recommended that you perform the following steps.
First, please visit the
following webpage at the link provided, read the contents therein, and determine for yourself, based
on that information, if your disability benefits are taxable or not. If you are absolutely certain though that your benefits
are not-taxable (as suspected), then you're done: do nothing further from
here, at least with respect to your disability income and taxes.
