You need simply to ask your employer as to the source and
that will guide you. Sounds like it was from a disability
policy that your employer paid for.

but you won't know till you ask.

It all depends. Payments received from worker's
compensation are not taxable and you would not receive a W-2
for those payments. Payments you receive from a disability
plan in which you paid the premiums would also not be
taxable and you would not receive a W-2. Payments made
under an employer's benefit plan which you did not pay for
in after-tax dollars (typically called sickness & accident
benefits) would be taxable as compensation and included on a
W-2.

I was injured on the job and was out of work for a few
months. Im not sure if my pay was from Workers Comp or my
employer, but it was included in my W-2. I was told by a
co-worker, who was injured last year, that his accountant
told him that pay was not taxable and cited case law. He
cannot find last years filings and cant remember the case
cited. Any ideas?

Thanks
john
