Insurance companies are notrmally very specific about what they will and will not cover, the policy may only cover short term temporary disability - this does not mean the insurer has any obligations for longer term payouts, you need to read the policy carefully and if still unsure then ruing the insurere or broker that sold you the insurance
If a person with a 2-3 year long-term disability insurance becomes disabled and unable to work before the insurance benefit period ends, they may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) through the Social Security Administration. Eligibility for SSDI benefits is determined by the severity of the disability and the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity. It is possible for SSDI benefits to kick in before the expiration of the long-term disability insurance coverage.

If the Long-Term Disability benefits you receive are from a company sponsored program, the taxation is dependent on whether your employer pays the premiums. Assuming that your employer pays for and provides the insurance to you, then the benefits you receive are taxable as ordinary income.
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.

You should consult with a tax specialist, but generally employer paid disability insurance benefits are taxable.
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.

Yes. If the employer paid the premiums for the disability insurance payments that you are receiving. And you will have some taxable income that you will have to report on your 1040 federal income tax return.
