Is money received while on Worman's Comp taxable or does it need to be reported?

Is money that you received while on Workman's Compensation taxable? Or has it already been taxed and reported to IRS. Do you have to report it when you file your income tax?

Thanks,

I was recently told by a U.S. Tax official, that w/c is not taxable, and does not need to be reported.

Workers compensation paymenys are not taxable.

Just to throw a note in. SSDI payments are another issue.
