I know that workman's comp is not taxable income. However, I saw someplace else in TurboTax where it should be entered. Now I can't rememeber or find where that is. Help

Workers compensation is not taxable, you do not have to enter it into TurboTax. If you need to, you can enter it here: For TurboTax Online users, in the black bar on the left of your screen: click “Tax Tools”<”Tools”< “Topic Search”<Type in “workers compensation and click “Go” to navigate to the worker’s compensation related screens in the TurboTax interview.  The screen where you can enter it is called "Sick or Disability Pay". TurboTax will tell you to upgrade to Deluxe if you are using Free Edition.

That really didn't answer my question.

Almost there except that I already have TurboTax Deluxe. The only search results that come up are the obvious (not taxable), but I know I saw a place to enter my husbands workers comp income someplace.

If you are using Deluxe CD/Download version... type exactly "workers compensation" in the search bar in the top right corner of the screen when your tax return is open.  The first line of results will say "jump to workers compensation" in blue.  Click on that link and it will take you right to the page where you can enter workers comp.  The screen will say "Sick or Disability Pay"(this is taxable) and this will end up on Line 7 Wages on your 1040.

If you are using TurboTax Online Deluxe: enter workers compensation this way: in the black bar on the left of your screen: click “Tax Tools”<”Tools”< “Topic Search”<Type in “workers compensation and click “Go” to navigate to the worker’s compensation related screens in the TurboTax interview.  The screen where you can enter it is called "Sick or Disability Pay".

This works when I test it out in TurboTax.
