Your attorney, Judge or the payer of the may be able to tell you if you will have any taxable income from this settlement amount.
You will not be receiving the amount until 2010 and if you receive a 1099 with some information on it after the end of the the year or other taxable income information form you will have some taxable income that you will have to report on your 1040 income tax return for the year 2010.
Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.
If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable. For a discussion of the taxability of these benefits, see Other Income under Miscellaneous Income, later.
