One of the biggest misconceptions about personal injury settlements is that you pay tax on them. The good news is you do not.
Your settlement money is triple tax-exempt, which means you don’t pay federal, state, or local income tax on them. That’s true even if your settlement includes lost wages which you’d normally pay tax on.
