If this is a workers' compensation payment, it is 100% nontaxable at the federal and state level, and you should not have received a 1099 for this as "income". Is the amount in box 6? If so, that's a good sign you shouldn't have received this at all. If this is workers' comp, you may need to file an extension of your tax return, and then contact your state workers' comp office to get this worked out: ask them to send a corrected 1099-MISC with 0.00 income.
Reminder - filing an extension of your tax return, does not extend the deadline for payment. If you extend, you can get more months to send in your tax return forms without penalty, but you should make any tax payment you anticipate before the deadline in April.
