Deductions & credits

There is no place to enter worker's compensation income because it is not taxable.   If you enter it in miscellaneous income, you will pay tax on the income, so you don't want to do that.   Keep your bank statements and/or check stubs if you need to keep record of it.   @dollface0710

 

From the IRS - Workers' Compensation

Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they're paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act.
