I am a resident of New York State and was involved in a personal injury accident. The settlement that I received is considered wages. You will have to check with your state and local tax laws. I am sure that a phone call to Jackson & Hewwitt or H & R Block in your state will work as well.

You were recently in a car accident their insurance company went with a 5050 split you got your insurance company involved and they found the other party 100 at fault what is the next step?
Let your insurance company know everything that you know about the accident and about what the other person's insurance company has proposed, and then let your insurance company handle the rest. If the other person was 100% at fault for the accident, your insurance company has a very powerful incentive to reject the counter-party settlement offer of a 50/50 split.
