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.

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.
