    If the disability income is from a disability policy or program paid for by your employer, then, yes, you WILL pay taxes on this lump-sum income.

    If it is Social Security Disability or VA disability or it is from a disability insurance policy that YOU paid for from a private insurance company, it is NOT taxable.
