which income comes under non taxable?

The following are some of the main non-taxable items of income:

1. Life insurance proceeds
   
2. IRA and Pension rollovers
   
3. Child support payments
   
4. Inheritances
   
5. Gifts
   
6. Workers Compensation
   
7. Disability payments if you paid the premiums on the policy. If your employer paid the policy, then the disability payments are taxable. If you paid part of the policy, then part of the disability payments are non-taxable.
   
8. Court damages for personal physical injuries or physical sickness.
   
9. Health and accident benefits.
   
10. Federal income tax refund. Also your state income tax refund if you took the standard deduction on the related prior year's 1040.
    
11. Most scholarships and fellowships
    
12. Foreign earned income (needs to be reported on Form 2555, but up to $80,000 usually can be excluded)
    
13. Foster care payments (certain restrictions for individuals over age 18 in foster care)
    
14. Social security benefits may not be taxable. It's a complicated calculation, but basically your social security benefits are not taxable if your adjusted gross income plus tax-exempt interest and 50% of your social security benefits is less than $32,000 (married filing jointly) or $25,000 (single or head of household).
    
15. Gain on the sale of your personal residence is usually nontaxable. The gain might be taxable if you lived in the residence less than two years or if the residence has ever been used as a rental property or home office.
    
16. Roth IRA qualified distributions
    
17. Cancellation of debt because of bankruptcy or insolvency. If you receive a Form 1099-C with cancellation of debt income, that income isn't taxable to you if the debt was discharged when you declared bankruptcy or if you were insolvent at the time the debt was discharged. Insolvency is when your liabilities exceed your assets at the time of the debt cancellation.
    
18. Veterans Administration disability benefits
