Generally, the IRS cannot take your workers' compensation settlement for tax purposes, as these benefits are typically not considered taxable income. However, if you receive a settlement for physical injuries or sickness, it is usually exempt from federal income tax. If your settlement includes amounts for lost wages, that portion may be taxable. It's always best to consult a tax professional for specific guidance related to your situation.
