I have not researched this question recently and tax law can change. Last time I looked this up, discrimination settlements were a personal injury and as such not taxable income.
Yes, typically discrimination settlements with employers are considered taxable income by the IRS. It's always best to consult with a tax professional for advice on how to handle the tax implications of the settlement.
You do not generally have to pay taxes on an insurance settlement claim. You can check with your tax firm or accountant for the rules specific to your state.

No. This type of settlement is not generally taxable.
The settlement will be listed as income on your Federal tax return. You will pay the tax percentage of the bracket you are in that year.
Yes-if you get a settlement from the EEOC it is taxable. If it is considered wages it is taxed at the rate your wages were taxed. If it is compensatory damages it is taxed at a lower rate but it cannot exceed 50% of the settlement.
They won't take your settlement away but you should pay some of what you owe on your back taxes. This won't happen automatically.
It depends what the issue of the case is about. If the settlement is in a personal injury lawsuit, there are no taxes. This money is strictly compensation for physical injuries. If the settlement is for back-pay or loss of income lawsuit, then there probably will be taxes.
Workers Compensation benefits are completely non-taxable for federal income taxes.
Worker's Comp payments are not taxable.
