Hello sparkszions!

Workers' compensation benefits are not normally considered taxable income at the state or federal level. The lone exception arises when an individual also receives disability benefits through Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Please feel free to comment with any additional questions or concerns. Best regards and thank you for using TurboTax!
