Do not include any workmen's compensation on your tax return. Any tax withholding should be returned to you once your employer sorts out the money reimbursed by the city. At that time you should receive a corrected W-2 as well.
Advice: Contact your employer to see how they will make these changes, then complete your tax return with any corrected wages and/or withholding. The goal would be for you to have this information before the due date of your tax return. If you do not receive the documents by the due date there are some options.
- File an automatic six month extension as it gets close to the due date of April 15, 2024
- File with the W-2 you you received then prepare to file an amended return when the IRS has accepted and processed the original return.
