Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.
Workers compensation should send you a form that you will apply to your tax returns.

If you are paid a wage or a salary for temporary work, the employer must deduct ALL taxes, social security and workers comp. If you are a subcontractor paid on a 1099, (which means YOU will pay all the taxes, etc) then no deductions are taken from your compensation. So it depends on the agreement you have with the contractor. He cannot, however, just take out workers comp and nothing else.

Workers Compensation benefits are completely non-taxable. It would not make any difference whether or not you were able to return to work after the injury. Workers Compensation settlements are based on the percentage of permanent disability that you suffer from a work related injury.
When you fill out the W-4 form, that will determine how much is taken out for taxes. When you get your checks then you will see how much has been taken out.
