Most Individual Disability policies have waiver of premium once you qualify for disability benefits built into the policies. If the premiums for the policy were not deducted as a business expense then the income from the disability policy should be received tax free. If you have a group disability plan paid for by your employer then the benefits are usually taxable. In most cases you cannot purchase more than 70% of your income, in total, either in a group policy or in an individual policy or in a combination of both. The insurance companies have a schedule as to how much coverage you can buy based on your total earned income. The percentage goes down dramatically as your income increase. At $100,000 of income the total disability coverage you can purchase from all sources is around 55% of your income and for most people the maximum benefit available is around $15,000 a month and they would have to be earning over $400,000 a year to qualify for that amount of coverage. Unearned income, such as investment income, can also reduce the amount of coverage you can qualify for. I have heard it said that 1/2 the divorces in the USA are caused due to one of the spouses becoming disabled. When one loses their ability to provide for themselves through no fault of their own their personalities change and if they didn't have a quality disability program in place to help compensate they also can have major financial issues to deal with as well. That is not conducive to a happy lifestyle.

Is disability payment tax excempt?
Not necessarily. This can be confusing for many. The key is who paid the premium for the disability insurance in the first place. If you pay for your own disability insurance plan completely then it may not be taxable. First, if your premium for disability insurance is paid by your employer, then it is always taxable. If you pay the premiums through a cafeteria plan, section 125 plan or such tax qualified plan where the premium is paid for with before tax money then the disability benefits are always taxable. If an only if you pay the premiums yourself by purchasing a private disability income policy and you pay the premiums with after tax money then the benefits are not taxable at all. I hope this helps you. A key tell all is if you recieve a 1099 form for your benefits for disability, then you will have to report the income on your tax return and pay taxes on the benefit. The IRS gets copies of all forms that you get and they match them up to make sur you paid tax on everything you were supposed to pay tax on.
