The taxable status of short term disability depends upon how you pay the premium. If you pay for short term disability at work via pre-tax deductions, the benefit will be taxable. If you pay with after tax deductions, you keep the entire benefit free of any taxes.
If you are referring to Short-Term Disability Insurance, it is taxable if your employer made the contribution, and not taxable if you made the contribution. This is because it is treated as a taxable benefit from employment that you have not been taxed on already. Please let me know if you are referring to something else.

Wisconsin does not have state mandated short term disability insurance. Benefit checks are sent by the insurance carrier that issued the policy - not your employer.
why wasn't fica taken out of std checks
Can you file on the taxes that are taken out of long term disability check
Yes, all employer paid benefits and wages are taxable. There is a way around that if you are an executive. 4lifeguild

Yes
Canada's Revenue Agency has a long term disability insurance for disabled individuals. The amount received from this does, in fact, count as taxable income.
Disability income can be paid by a private insurance company that is licensed and authorized to issue disability income policies in the state of policy issuance. The policy can provide short-term or long-term benefits, depending upon its terms. It is designed to replace income lost due to a disabling sickness or accident specified in the policy. Often, short-term disability insurance is furnished as a benefit of employment by employers for eligible employees. In those cases, the employer may either have purchased a group short-term disability policy, or self-insure for the payment of short-term disability benefits. In general, if one purchases private disability coverage and him/herself pays the premiums for it, the benefits that are paid are not taxable.
You should consult with a tax specialist, but generally employer paid disability insurance benefits are taxable.
Not if you were paying for your own policy yourself. Tax free benefit. 4lifeguildMaybe. Disability payments can considered tobe partially or fully taxable income.
