Maternity Leave Question?

Mobile: Maternity Leave Question?

Out of curiosity for you ladies that are or have received short-term disability for your maternity leave, did you opt to have taxes taken out at the time you received your checks (I believe you fill out a W-4S Form) or did you wait to pay it all at once? Why or why not?

I'm wondering which option to take here.

TIA

I think mine automatically get taken out. I basically just have a continuation of my salary through my work. It's just different on their end i think.

This also depends on if you pay your own short term disability premium or if your employer pays them. If you pay taxes on the premiums, etc

My premiums are paid with after tax dollars so the payments are not taxed at all.  If I had to pay I would rather do it per check than all at once.

The deduction is after tax out of my paycheck, so the benefit will not have taxes taken out.
