If either your employer bought the disability policy, or you purchased it with PRE-tax money (thru payroll deduction perhaps), then I believe disability benefits are taxable at ordinary income tax rates. If it was purchased with after tax money, usually not taxable. A good rule of thumb is: If YOU haven't paid taxes on the premiums, you're going to pay taxes on the benefits. If you mean "pension payments" when you say "retirement checks," then yes. It is taxed like ordinary income.

I am filing for disability retirement, am I required to have state taxes with held from disability checks I was told no because I am disabled. Thank you?

http://tax.ohio.gov/helpfiles/IFileHelp/help/2007/1040schaded.html indicates that disability benefits are a deduction on your Ohio tax forms, meaning that you should not have to withhold taxes from those checks. (Disability and Survivorship Benefits section). However, it's best to contact your state tax agency to be 100% sure: http://tax.ohio.gov/channels/global/contact_us.stm Although you should go ahea and have them held from each check, it is not required.
