Is workman’s compensation taxable? You do not have to pay tax on workers’ compensation received by you or your survivor for work-related illness or injuries paid under a workers’ compensation act or workers’ compensation statute characterizing a workers’ compensation act.
The tax exemption on the self-declaration does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on age, length of stay, or previous contributions to the plan, even if you retired due to an occupational illness or injury.
If the employer continues to pay off your regular salary or wages and requires you to hand over your workers’ compensation benefits, tax is paid on the tax return on the overpayments that were paid to you by your employer.
The portion of your workers’ compensation that reduces your Social Security benefits or equivalent railroad retirement benefits are considered Social Security benefits and may be taxable on your tax return under the rules for these types of income.Ā Therefore, your worker’s compensation may be an indirect tax on your tax return.

However, if your employer requires you to log your checks on them and continues to pay you, you will pay taxes as they will report the wages paid to you and the taxes withheld from those wages on your W-2.Ā Some employers only supplement accrued vacation time with the employee receiving worker’s comp checks.Ā It is the only sure way to get your WC benefit non-taxable.
