Is a Settlement Payment Taxable?
The IRS has a policy of not taxing personal injury settlement funds. Although these funds may be viewed as additional income in layman’s terms, the government’s more specific definition of taxable personal income does not include personal injury settlements. However, this may become more complicated if a person receives funds for back or lost wages, which can be taxable.
