No you won't likely be receiving a tax return in the mail like you have in the past. The IRS is getting away from providing paper copies of tax returns. You pretty much have to do it electronically these day.
HOWEVER...
If what you are asking is whether you will get a tax REFUND while getting workmens compensation then there simply is not enough information provided to give you an accurate answer. We'd need to know what other income you had as well. We'd need to know HOW MUCH you received in WC. We'd need to know your filing status. We'd need to know how many Exemptions you qualify to claim. All of that just to be able to determine whether you had any Taxable Income or not. Then we could likely determine your Tax on the taxable income. Then we would have to see if you qualified for any "non-refundable credits" that could be used to offset the Tax.
Then we'd have to determine if you were liable for any additional taxes. After all that then we would know your Total Tax figure. We could compare that against your income tax withholdings plus any "refundable credits" you might qualify for to find out if you are going to qualify for a REFUND.
It's not an EASY process and can't be answered just "off the cuff".

Double dipping laws?
Double dipping laws typically refer to regulations that prevent individuals from receiving payment for the same work or injury from multiple sources simultaneously. For example, a worker may not be able to receive workers' compensation benefits for the same injury while also receiving disability benefits. These laws are in place to prevent fraud and ensure fair compensation for individuals.
Can you have a person injury suit and be on workmens comp?
Generally, the answer is no, if you are looking to sue your employer, and yes, if you are looking to sue an outside party. The exclusive remedy doctrine (which is one of the core principles of the workers' compensation system) states that, with a very few exceptions the workers' compensation system is the exclusive remedy injured employees have to receive compensation for their injuries, and they may not both receive workers' compensation benefits and sue their employer. Exceptions may exist where the employer is found to have shown gross negligence that contributed to the injury. If a party other than your employer is at fault for the injury, the injured employee would still be able to sue the responsible party while receiving benefits from your employer's workers' comp carrier. For example, if a pizza delivery driver is in a motor vehicle accident for which the other driver is at fault, he could still recover benefits from the responsible driver and/ or her auto insurance carrier, in what is known as a 3rd party suit. The workers' compensation carrier would expect to receive a share of any settlement, however, based on the medical and income benefits that they have paid on the injured workers' behalf.
