Is LTD Disability taxable or not

[kidkjbiker]

I had been paying into a Sunlife LTD plan through my company. On my W2 from my company they listed at the top. The chart indicates your 2016 voluntary adjustments which are included (+) excluded (-) or did not affect N/A your federal wages. Box 1.  They then list the voluntary adjustments

Voluntary adjustments       YTD amounts               Federal Wages 

Long Term                             $173.27                        N/A

 

The $173.27 I paid is listed no where else on the W2. 

 

 

From Sunlife the W2 I received lists in box 1 the amounts Sunlife the disability provider paid in 2016. I am thinking as the LTD did not affect my wages and I paid it it should be non-taxable. 

Box 13 of the Sunlife W2 lists it as Sick Pay.  

 

How can I determine who paid the insurance.  Me or my company.  Sunlife says my company screwed up and that their agreement with my company was where it should be taxable.
