This is normally because your employer is paying for a part of the premium, meaning you don't have to, which means that it is income.

Is group life insurance deductible as a business expense?

An employer's contribution to a group insurance plan is deductible as a business expense. This benefit is not taxable to the employee. An employee may not deduct a portion of the premium he cost shares with his/her employer. Typically a group benefit plan includes drug and dental coverage, lfe and long term disability .

Is there an exception to the rule concerning the non-deductibility of life insurance premium?

You never want to deduct the premiums of a life insurance policy. The reason for this is if you deduct the premiums then the benefits will automatically be taxable. You certainly would not want the proceeds to be taxable just to get a very small tax deduction for the premiums. One of the best things about life insurance is that the proceeds are not subject to income tax. The same thing applies to certain other types of insurance. If you purchase disability insurance at work the premium is paid with after tax money so that the benefits will not be taxable. It works the same way. If the premium is paid by the employer as a benefit of your employer or if a clerk deducts it before tax through a cafeteria plan by mistake then the benefits will be taxable for income tax if you ever get disabled.

Do you need to turn in disability from a disability insurance on your federal taxes?

The answer depends upon how you paid the premium. If you paid the premium entirely yourself using after tax dollars, the benefit is completely tax free. If you paid through pre-tax payroll deductions at work, the benefit is subject to taxation, and you must declare the income on your federal return. If your employer shared in the cost of your premium, then the benefit is also taxable. Your insurance company will likely send you a 1099 statement if the benefit is considered taxable.
