Short-term disability after tax deduction refers to the income received by an individual during a temporary inability to work due to illness or injury, after taxes have been deducted from the benefits. Typically, short-term disability insurance provides a portion of the employee's salary for a limited period, usually ranging from a few weeks to six months. If the premiums for this insurance were paid with after-tax dollars, the benefits received are generally tax-free. Conversely, if premiums were paid with pre-tax dollars, the benefits would be subject to income tax.
