@billick --

Yes, you should enter the 1099-MISC into the appropriate section of TurboTax.  Settlements reported in Box 3 of a 1099-MISC are generally taxable.  Per the IRS:

 

Generally, all punitive damages (even if they relate to physical injury or physical sickness), any damages for non-physical injuries or sickness, liquidated damages received under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and any other taxable damages are required to be reported in Box 3.
