Workman’s comp

amayaqt — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:28:16 GMT

have been on workman’s comp for a year. Received monthly payments till my case closes. My question is, since no taxes have been removed. Do I need to fail any taxes at all. Assuming my only income is through WC payments.

No, workmen's compensation is not taxable so there is no need to file a return if that's all you had.

Workers compensation is not taxable. You do not enter it on a tax return. Do you have any other income to enter? If not, you do not need to file a tax return.

Who has to file?
