mva in ohio i received a a settlement from other drivers (his fault) insurance for injuries in a mva ( 2 back surgeries). do i have to pay income tax on this settlement? if so do i have to pay it on outstanding medical bills. Thanks
I am not an attorney or a tax expert, but my research has shown that settlements are not taxable, except for punitative damages. Those are federally taxed and may be taxed by the state as well. I do not know Ohio law to answer your situation.
