For legal settlements and awards, the following is taxable:

 

  • All interest on awards is taxable
  • All punitive damages are taxable except in certain wrongful death actions
  • Because the gross wages are replacing a taxable item, they are taxable 

You can enter the settlement in Other Income. See these directions.
