IRS regulations can be very complicated, these type cases usually need to be addressed on an individual basis. In general if the monies replace taxable income then the entire amount is subject to taxation. If it is a personal injury award taxes could be owed on a portion or the entire amount depending on the circumstances. The best and safest option would be to consult a CPA or attorney who is versed in tax codes * Interestingly, I have been doing a lot of research on the rules for this, especially how to report and if or what portion is to be withheld), for some employers. Certainly, any specific type of payment can get involved with many things (especially payments as part of pensions, or early returements, etc.). However, if I can make a broad but yet almost always true generalization: If the payment is from a current or EX employer, to a current of EX employee, the IRS requires it to be reported by a W-2 (for FICA purposes if nothing else), or 1099, with proper identification as to type. Following that as the recepient should give you the right result.

Does your employer pay FICA taxes?
Yes. The way it works in most cases is that you pay FICA taxes in the amount of 6.2% of your gross income and your employer also pays the same amount. Also you are required to pay 1.45% of your gross income for Medicare tax and your employer also matches that amount. So in total you are paying for half of these two taxes and your employer pays for half of the total taxes for these two taxes.

Can an employer change your withholding without knowledge?
It is not recommended. If you W2 form is lost the employer can change your withholding to single with no deductions. The employee should be notified so an adjustment can be made.

For example if an employee claims that last year he did not make enough to pay taxes and predicts that this year he will not have to pay taxes and starts making enough that he WILL have to pay taxes then the employer must start withholding taxes.
