No. Workers compensation is completely exempt from federal tax if the payments are made under a workers compensation act for injuries occurring in the course of employment. They're also exempt from state tax. They're not included as income, so they wouldn't be reported to you on a 1099 or any other tax form.
The correct spelling of the form of insurance is Workers' Compensation.
You can substitute the 1099-MISC form for reporting your income by using the 1099-NEC form, which is now used specifically for reporting nonemployee compensation.
Workers compensation should send you a form that you will apply to your tax returns.
The main difference between a 1099-MISC and a 1099-NEC for the tax year 2022 is that the 1099-MISC is used to report various types of income, while the 1099-NEC is specifically for reporting nonemployee compensation. In 2022, the IRS reintroduced the 1099-NEC form to separate nonemployee compensation from other types of income previously reported on the 1099-MISC form.
If you have employees, even day labor guys, you MUST carry workers compensation insurance for them. If you have no employees you simply file your workers compensation exemption form with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). They will note your license as exempt from having workers compensation insurance and that you certify that you have no employees. Even if you file an exemption, your customer/client can require that you carry workers compensation insurance if you agree to do so in a contract.
In "workers' comp," the apostrophe should come after the "s" to indicate that the compensation is intended for multiple workers. This is the possessive form of "workers," showing that the compensation belongs to the workers.
A surety bond is a form of guarantee. Workers compensation is an insurance program. There is absolutely no relativity.
