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.
Thanks,

Who pays disability 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.

Where do you place short term disability on 1040?
Short-term disability benefits are typically reported as income on your federal tax return. You would include these benefits on Line 1 of Form 1040 as part of your wages, salaries, tips, etc. If you received the benefits through an employer-funded plan, they are usually taxable; however, if you paid the premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits may not be taxable. Always consult the IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific situations.
Do you pay taxes on short term disability?
Depends. Basic guideline is if you paid for the policy paying the benefit, then the benefit isn't taxable. If someones else contributed to it, or if it was paid with before tax money (as in some employee packages), then the money is taxable. However, consider the income being replaced would have been taxed too.
Are short term disability payments considered income on your tax returns?
Generally speaking, this depends on who paid the premiums. If you bought the policy yourself with after-tax dollars, (it didn't come out of your paycheck before taxes were figured) then it should be tax free. If your employer paid for the policy, then the IRS considers it taxable income.

I have a W-2 with non-taxable sick pay. It was for short term disability and I paid the premium. Do you include that W-2 for the non-taxable sick pay when I file my taxes?
I'm a bit confused by what your saying...but agree and understand the principal. Doesn't the W-2 show the income in a psecial bix for non taxable comp? It absolutely needs to be reported for sure...I should think in the box (forgot the number) I noted, or included as box 1 income and excluded at another point.
