Are my workers’ compensation benefits taxable?

Last Updated: 8/31/2023

No, generally they are not taxable and you should not receive a W-2 or 1099 for the workers' compensation money you receive.

Tell us your story, and we'll tell you how we can help.

I was hurt at work when a beam fell injuring my right leg. My medical care through workers compensation was slow, but eventually I had surgery to repair my leg. The surgery did not help much and I ended up with permanent work restrictions. My employer of almost 10 years decided to fire for a made-up reason instead of letting me continue to work so I called Corey for help. Thankfully, before calling Corey I did not agree to a settlement with the insurance company because if I had I would have lost more than $90,000. If you are wondering if you are owed more workers compensation benefits call Corey's office before discussing any settlement with the insurance company. They won't charge you for the call and only get paid if they win more money than the insurance company voluntarily pays. Robert of Des Moines (Machine Operator)
