Free From Disability


» From: San Jose, CA

Dear TaxMama,

I received short-term disability payments from the State of California under the CASDI program in 2000.

I pay SDI premiums every month through my payroll. Is this income subject to federal tax?

The state Employment Development Dept. did not send any W-2 or 1099 for the payments.

Dear Lynn,

The two wonderful thing about CA SDI income are -

the payments are higher than unemployment...

and

NONE of it is taxable.

Use them in good health :-)

Best wishes
