Wife was on disability for shoulder surgery between
Thanksgiving and New Years. The insurance was paid solely
by the employer, therefore taxable. She received payments
directly from the insurance company, which also deducted
FICA, but not Medicare.

Questions are:

1) is the amount of insurance payments typically included in
the W-2 issued by the company? Her W-2 has no special codes
indicating this.

2) If not, will we be getting some sort of tax form from the
insurance company? We have the check stubs for the
payments, is this sufficient documentation for adding the
amount on the 1040?

Wait till you get the W2 form. Have to have it before
filing.
