Are lump sum settlements taxable?

The Illinois tax treatment of the settlement follows the federal treatment. If the settlement is subject to federal income tax, it is taxed by Illinois. If it is exempt from federal taxation, it is not taxed by Illinois.

You may access additional information by searching the entire Illinois Department of Revenue website.

If you have additional inquiries, you may submit them on the Questions, Comments, or Requests form.
