Is disability payment tax excempt?
Not necessarily. This can be confusing for many. The key is who paid the premium for the disability insurance in the first place. If you pay for your own disability insurance plan completely then it may not be taxable. First, if your premium for disability insurance is paid by your employer, then it is always taxable. If you pay the premiums through a cafeteria plan, section 125 plan or such tax qualified plan where the premium is paid for with before tax money then the disability benefits are always taxable. If an only if you pay the premiums yourself by purchasing a private disability income policy and you pay the premiums with after tax money then the benefits are not taxable at all. I hope this helps you. A key tell all is if you recieve a 1099 form for your benefits for disability, then you will have to report the income on your tax return and pay taxes on the benefit. The IRS gets copies of all forms that you get and they match them up to make sur you paid tax on everything you were supposed to pay tax on.
