I would like to show it as I am trying to obtain a new home loan this year. without it, it shows i had little to no income for the year because i was out of work.

In general, worker’s compensation is not taxable income and therefore is not reported on your federal tax return.

There are special rules regarding reporting worker’s compensation income.  The information below provides detail on this topic for you.

@aman2020 You should receive a form 1099-G reporting your workmen's compensation income and you will enter that in the Unemployment section of TurboTax, which is in the federal Wages and Income section.
