This depends on how much money the taxpayer reports as income on their tax return. If an individual has a modified gross income of $125,000 to $145,000, or a joint filer of $250,000 to $290,000, then any COBRA subsidy payments received would count towards taxable income for that year. Any income less, and the subsidy benefits are NOT taxable.
