I received workman's compensation. My workplace was paid by insurance, and then my workplace paid me. Are they taxable?

[cjcpeterson]

They put them into my net income, which is causing me to have to pay taxes on them. They gave me a copy of all of the workmans compensation checks, but will not change my W2.

In general, Worker's Compensation is not taxable and should not be included on the W2.  You can enter the Workman's Compensation as negative Miscellaneous Income.  

1. Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
2. On the  Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income page, select Start to the right of Other reportable income
3. On the  Any Other Taxable Income? screen, select Yes
4. On the  Other Taxable Income screen enter the description "Worker's Compensation reported on W2," then the amount.  Select Continue
5. On the  Other Miscellaneous Income Summary screen, select Done
