If You Receive Money From A Lawsuit Do You Have To Pay Taxes On That Money?

You need to contact a lawyer but usually
they don't on a certain amount and then the lawyer will tell you , sometimes it depends on what the lawsuit was from how it was invested if it was and so on, If you had an attorney in your state that settled that case just call his or her office,they will know okay

An attorney, if they are doing their job, will state quite clearly if the taxes are to be paid by the defendant, the plaintiff, or both.  But, they do have to be paid regardless.  If it is left unspoken, then it will be the responsibility of the plaintiff

You will need to ask your lawyer to find out for sure.
