Workman's compensation benefits are non-taxable, so you are exempt from having to claim anything you receive in workman's comp on your state or federal income taxes.

No. You cannot deduct lost income when you never claim the actual income in the first place. You are only taxed on the amount of taxable income that you received. The reason that Worker's Compensation pays you at this level is that you are not paying income taxes, state taxes, social security taxes nor medicare taxes on this income.

What happens if a person can not pay taxes on workers comp benefits?

Workers’ compensation benefits are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. These benefits are designed to compensate employees for workplace injuries or illnesses, and the law protects them from taxation to ensure injured workers can focus on recovery. However, there is one exception: if a person is receiving both workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) (954-618-1776) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), their workers’ comp benefits may reduce their Social Security payments. This is called an “offset.” In such cases, the portion of workers’ comp benefits considered as SSDI income may be subject to taxation, depending on the individual’s total income. If a person cannot pay taxes on this taxable portion, the consequences mirror those of unpaid taxes in general. The IRS may assess penalties and interest on the unpaid amount. Continued non-payment can lead to tax liens, garnished wages, or levies on bank accounts. It’s crucial for individuals in this situation to act proactively. They can contact the IRS to set up a payment plan, explore hardship options, or consult a tax professional for advice. For most, though, workers’ compensation benefits remain tax-free, making this a rare issue to face.

as a subcontractor can the person i sub from deduct money from my last check for workers comp?

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.
