Settlement proceeds can be taxable depending on their nature. Compensation for lost wages, interest, or punitive damages is usually taxable, while proceeds for physical injury or illness may be tax-free under IRS rules. Emotional distress damages are taxable unless tied to a physical injury. Structured settlements can sometimes reduce immediate tax impact, but all cases vary. It’s crucial to review IRS guidelines and consult a tax professional to avoid surprises. Better Tax Relief helps taxpayers understand settlement taxation, minimize liabilities, and create strategies to stay compliant while keeping more of their money safe for future financial goals.
