Workers compensation is not taxable and does not get entered on a tax return. But you will not be getting earned income credit based on workers comp. You only get EIC based on income earned from working. Since you have no tax liability for the workers compensation, you do not get child tax credit. Itemized deductions such as medical expenses do you no good if you have not paid any taxes from which to receive a refund.
Unless there has been some other income for your houshold, you do not need to file a tax return.
