Question

Do I use single or joint income when completing a w-4s form for tax withholding from long-term disability benefits? We file taxes married filing jointly.

I need to know if I enter just my husband's income or both our incomes to determine how much tax my long-term disability benefit provider should cut.

@waites4u - first, are you sure your LT disability is taxable? depending on how you paid for the premium originally, it may not be taxable.

if it is taxable, then you want to enter both your incomes in the w-4 estimator, which would include the LT disability.
