Can You Write Off Disability Insurance for Employees?
Short answer: Yes: employer-paid disability premiums are deductible; benefits are then taxable to employees.
If employees pay with after-tax money, benefits are tax-free.
Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
