Is a personal injury lawsuit settlement taxable income?

Yes and no. Anything you get to compensate you for medical payments you had to pay to get fixed are not taxable. Awards for pain and suffering and lost wages are taxable.

Attorney fees are deducted as a miscellaneous itemized deduction.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
