Do I have to pay taxes on a discrimination settlement from a former employer
Some paystubs have Medicare and Social Security taxes listed separately while others have them combined and listed as FICA Taxes. Check your paystub to be sure your employer isn't deducting it before contacting the IRS.
Yes, paying an employee under the table is illegal because it allows employers to evade taxes, wage laws, and employment regulations. It can lead to penalties for both the employer and employee and can result in legal consequences. It is important to report income and pay taxes as required by law.

Residents of Indian reservations are generally exempt from state income taxes on reservation income, but they are still subject to federal income taxes. They may also pay sales taxes and property taxes depending on the location and specific agreement between the tribe and surrounding state or local government.
You don't. If you rent the person who rents to you pays taxes on the property which includes school taxes and your rent helps him pay for the taxes. So, in a round about way you pay for them by paying him.
No, you do not pay taxes on employer 401k contributions until you withdraw the money from the account.

I have not researched this question recently and tax law can change. Last time I looked this up, discrimination settlements were a personal injury and as such not taxable income.
No
No.
Yes. The way it works in most cases is that you pay FICA taxes in the amount of 6.2% of your gross income and your employer also pays the same amount. Also you are required to pay 1.45% of your gross income for Medicare tax and your employer also matches that amount. So in total you are paying for half of these two taxes and your employer pays for half of the total taxes for these two taxes.
It's not an option for him, by law, your employer MUST withhold these taxes from your pay.
yes
Generally speaking you do not have to pay taxes on personal injury settlements. However, in certain situations where (1) all or part of the proceeds of the settlement is treated as disability income, and (2) the premium of the policy (under which the proceeds were paid) was paid by an employer; then that part of the proceeds will be treated as a taxable ordinary income.
totally babes!
No. This type of settlement is not generally taxable.
If you have a job you are legally required to file taxes. Your employer's responsibility is to take the taxes out of your paycheck and "pay the man," as it were. If your W-2s reflect taxes paid to the Gov't, you are in the clear - if you file.
