    Long Term Disability & IRA

    Are long term disability payments (paid from an employer plan) considered earned income? If so, can that earned income be used to contribute to a Roth or traditional IRA?

    I think you asked the same thing three different ways.

    I point out these payments are not Earned Income. Is this person Employed?
