Best Answer

It depends on what the payments are for. Damages received for personal physical injury or physical sickness are NOT taxable. Punitive damages ARE taxable. Damages for emotional distress ARE taxable except for amounts that were used to pay for actual medical expenses. These are just examples. If these don't specifically answer your question, I would recommend seeking professional advice as the tax code varies widely depending on the type of lawsuit.
