ANy money awarded by the Government is tax free.  only in the portion.\nIf the state awarded it, then it is STATE tax free.

In the US, if you receive a settlement for a personal injury, any amount that covers items such as medical expenses and lost wages, what would be called compensatory, will not be subject to income tax.  An amount that you receive that is designated as punitive damages would be taxable.

Think of it this way, insurance settlements arre usually reimbursements for money that you have already spent repairing or replacing items that were damaged, lost or stolen.  Usually this money is not taxable.  If however you sue an insurance company and receive money above and beyond what it cost to repair or replace property, i.e. punitive damages, the amount in punitive damages would be taxable.\n\nIf you receive money and loan it to someone else, it is assumed to be your money of which you can do whatever you want you may claim it as a nonbusiness bad debt deduction.  However in order to deduct it off your taxes - you woud have to 1099 the borrower for the forgiveness of the debt.  This person would then add that amount that amount as ataxable income to thier return.

The above answer is blatantly false. The IRS taxes all lawsuit awards and settlements not for physical injury or disease, and even for those awards, they tax all punitive damages and interest. Legal fees are to be deducted from the award.

a person can sue for almost anything, but.....it shouldn't go far in the court system if the things you said were true..I am not a lawyer but I think if you put something in writing and it could cause someone to loose their job it is libel..but if ithe things you claim are found to be true then they shouldn't have a leg to stand on.

no you don't have to, unless taxes have been withheld and you want a refund.

Why did they claim you?  By' 'claim' I assume you mean as a dependent.  This would have lowered their tax liability and increased their refund. So why did they claim you?\n\nAnyway, it's their return and if they don't want to share that information with you then you are out of luck.  the refund is theirs so if they don't want you to know then about the only thing you can do is to throw a temper tantrum.\n\nI throw temper tantrums all the time and I usually take it out on inanimate objects, like plastic CD cases.  I always feel much better after I clean up all the broken plastic.

Yes.  Several ways, like liens for taxes or other government services, or judgement liens from lawsuits, or a Lis Pendens from plaintiffs suing the owner for something.

It depends.  If you really can claim 2, then yes go and claim 2.  You will get more now and less/none on your refund.  This is preferable.  Just beware that if at tax time, you can't actually claim 2, you'll have to pay the taxes and in some cases, there might be penalties if you claim much more than you were supposed to.  As in, you claimed 10, but you were only supposed to claim 2.\n\nRead over the W-4 and claim the number that you should.  The labels are pretty clear.  It's nonoptimal to blindly claim 0 and get a return because the government gets to use your money interest free for that entire period when it was yours anyway.

None.  If they have insurance then the insurance company has duties to fulfill for you.  If your employer has no insurance, then you might be able to get something from them in court.  However, if you sue for too much they can claim bankruptcy and you're left with nothing, except your damaged noggin.

Actually, you cannot sue the government for misspending your tax dollars.  If the legislature allocated money for whatever news 7 says "you paid for", then it is perfectly legal, whether you agree with it or not.  \n\nIronically, you cannot sue the government without permission from the government...isn't that weird?  But it's true in the USA.

It depends on how you file.

There is no 'contacting' them about this. \n\nJust don't claim them the next time you file your taxes!

They are not required to pay, but they must file. From what I have seen, somehow they usually end up getting money back.

Yes. They can still take you to small claims court even though there was no police report filed. You are responsible for the damages you caused. However, to avoid going to court tell them to go get 2-3 estimates and you pay the smaller of the two. Thats the law. Hope this helps, I am a paralegal.

Yes, if they file for a tax lien

You can very well file it in Tennessee court of small claims which has jurisdiction because the claimant stays there. If the person you are claiming against is a registered firm or company they mention in their documents as to where such legal claims against them can be filed.
