Workers comp part of Soc. Sec Benefits

[thetaxman2200]

I have a client who has Soc. Benefits which is his only income: Ok that is not taxable however it is broken down as follows:

Paid Directly 26,706
Medicare B - 923.20
Works Comp Offset - 20,893.90
Attorney Fee's 6,000


Includes:

2008 - 1,3974.70
2009 - 17,708.40
2010 - 6,776.40

Obviously he had a disability claim. I am assuming this not taxable since he has not other income involved to make Soc. Security taxable.

I am in state of PA

Thanks

Confirm the 2008 amount. And what figure is in Box 5? If the SS benefit is large enough, some of it can be taxable.
