Are LTD Benefits Taxable?

Long-term disability benefits are an important process to get the relief you need during this difficult time. It’s also important to know if these benefits are taxable or not, which depends on who is paying the premium for the long-term disability benefits.

Employer Pays the Premium

If your employer pays for part of or the entire premium, then your benefits will be taxable as income. If your benefits are taxable then the insurance company with normally withhold the amount of taxes from each payment sent to you.

You Pay the Premium

In the case that you pay the entire premium, your benefits will be considered not taxable as income. The funding you receive from the benefits will not be deducted in any way, and you keep what you receive.
