If you had other taxable income, your social security can become taxable up to 85%. However, if this settlement was for personal injury then you would not include it on your return. If your ONLY income is a personal injury settlement and social security, then you would not need to file a tax return. You would not need to do anything to claim the medical expenses or other expense that this personal injury suit covered.
