I received income from a taxable legal settlement. I did not receive a 1099 misc. I input the amount as other misc income. Turbo tax did not compute any taxes due. Why?

Answer Yes to the question Any Other Taxable Income?

Enter a brief description and the amount you received and click Continue.

I've done exactly what you are suggesting. No what amount I put in turbotax says i owe $0. the settlement amount is taxable. Why does turbotax say i own no taxes?
