I received workers comp for a month. I'm told it's exempt. I had jo deductions, etc Do I list this as income?

No, workers compensation is not taxable. 

See excerpt from IRS link below, page 18:

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

However, it can be recorded as nontaxable income for purposes of the Sales Tax deduction if you itemize.
