I received 1099 misc from litchen Liss Riordan verses uber
it’s a settlement payment
line 3 shows total settlement amount including attorney fees ( attorney fees which I never received they took it upfront) but included it in my total settlement
line 4 shows federal income taxes
but separately in the breakdown it shows they took the attorney fees
my question is do I need to pay taxes for attorney fees too?
same goes with CA form 582-B
line 1 shows total settlement included attorney fees and
line 3 shows tax withheld
thanks
