If I am awarded money, I am not sure if I have to give the government half of it or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Awards and settlements due to physical injury and physical illness are tax free.

Any part of the award that is for interest, lost wages, or punitive damages is fully taxable IF those amounts are stated separately.
