Settlements may be taxable or nontaxable, depending on the claim that's been settled. Taxable settlement amounts include interest, compensation for lost wages, etc. There's no set federal tax rate on a settlement. How much tax you'll be assessed depends on your filing status and taxable income. Taxable settlement amounts usually are entered on line 21 (Other Income) on Form 1040.

I had a huge settlement from an auto insurance company and it was not taxed. However I believe that was because my attorney negotiated a type of settlement that made it non-taxable.

Amounts paid for punitive damages and loss of income ARE taxable.
