Reg. 31.3121(a)(4)-1 says no FICA after 6 months: § 31.3121(a)(4)-1 Payments on account of sickness or accident disability, or medical or hospitalization expenses. The term ''wages'' does not include any payment made by an employer to, or on behalf of, an employee on account of the employee's sickness or accident disability or the medical or hospitalization expenses in connection with the employee's sickness or accident disability, if such payment is made after the expiration of 6 calendar months following the last calendar month in which such employee worked for such employer. Such payments are excluded from wages under this exception even though not made under a plan or system. If the employee does not actually perform services for the employer during the requisite period, the existence of the employer- employee relationship during that period is immaterial.
Long Term Disability
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.

Typically, if an employer pays for long-term disability (LTD) premiums, the cost is not considered taxable income to the employee at the time of payment. However, if the employer pays the premiums, any disability benefits received by the employee in the future will generally be taxable. Conversely, if the employee pays for the LTD premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits received would typically be tax-free. It's important for employers and employees to consult tax professionals for specific guidance based on individual situations.
No, long term private disability income is not subject to FICA, as it is considered a disability benefit and not earned income. FICA taxes are typically applied to wages and certain other types of income.
