If you are single and had no taxable income then you have no reason to file an income tax return.

No. Workers’ compensation benefits are not taxable and are not claimed on yearly tax statements. These are fully exempt from state and federal taxes, regardless if paid on a scheduled basis (like weekly or biweekly) or in a lump sum.
