Re: taxation of workmans comp benefits

In my experience, workers' compensation benefits are not normally taxable. However, you should consult an accountant or tax expert (whomever may do your taxes, H&R Block, tax attorney) to make sure about the same. Please don't rely solely upon my experience, as the tax laws change all the time. Please get the proper tax advice as set forth above. Good luck.
