The IRS defines gross income as the total of earned income plus unearned income. Earned income includes salaries, wages, tips, and professional fees. Unearned income includes taxable interest, ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, unemployment compensation, taxable social security benefits, etc. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 525 (Taxable and Nontaxable Income).
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. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 525 (Taxable and Nontaxable Income).
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.
