If you have signed up for workmen's compensation insurance and paid the premiums then you can be eligible for compensation. Most self-employed people do not carry this insurance because it is intended to be purchased by employers for their employees. The injury must have occurred on the job for it to be covered.

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, 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.
