I was told on any money you get from a wrongful death suit you do not have to pay taxes on. Because you are being compensated for something you lost and can never get back. However; you should ask a tax consultant to be for certain, like H&R Block is the best ones to ask and they pay for mistakes that they make so go to them and have them do your taxes for you.
