Chapter 03 - Employee Benefits
Section 35-3-03-03-100

A taxpayer may exclude from gross income compensation which is received under a worker's compensation act, for personal injuries or sickness incurred in the course of employment. The exclusion also applies to compensation which is paid under a worker's compensation act to the survivor or survivors of a deceased employee. The exclusion does not apply to a retirement pension or annuity to the extent that it is determined by reference to the employee's age or length of service, or the employee's prior contributions, even though the employee's retirement occurs from an occupational injury or sickness. Amounts received as compensation for a non-occupational injury or sickness, and amounts received as compensation for an occupational injury or sickness in excess of the amount provided in the applicable worker's compensation act are also not subject to the exclusion.
