Re: Is PIP Settlement taxable
Benefits payable for lost wages are reduced by 15& for taxes, unless you can show that you were in a lower tax bracket at the time of the accident.
As always I would suggest you consult a attorney because what you write in a one sentence posting never completely tells the story and that might change the diagnosis. Feel free to contact either myself or my partner, visit us at www.garmokiste.com, as we offer a free consultation, and would be glad to represent you in this matter or any other matter you might have.
