Long-term disability benefits
Depends on who paid
Is Long-term disability Taxable?
Short answer: Taxable if your employer paid the premiums pre-tax; tax-free if you paid with after-tax money.
Social Security disability (SSDI) can be partly taxable.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
