It depends. If you received compensation for injury, property damages or medical bills, you do not have to report it. It is not income, it is compensation.
If the settlement was for lost wages or included an amount for lost wages, those must be included, if not already on your W-2s.

No, of course not, it is not income. If it is a large injury settlement, and you invest it, you have to declare the interest on it as income.

No, it surely isn't earned taxable income, but rather compensation for loss.
