We bought a Chevy Volt in 2016 for $27,745. We sued in 2022 under the CA Lemon Law because GM couldn't/wouldn't deliver the repair part for 5 months. We traded the car in ($15K toward a new Bolt) at that point (Nov 2022). We got a settlement in Nov 23 for $15,000. The Lemon Law firm got $10K and we got $5K. The firm listed the total amount as "Total Cash and Keep Settlement Amount..." in the disbursement agreement. We got a 1099-MISC from that law firm with only box 10 filled in ($15,000). I entered box 10 value and clicked "continue" and got the "Enter Taxable Attorney Fees" page. It shows the $15,000 and wants me to enter "Taxable Attorney's Fees". Where do I go from here?
I did check the infobase but it seems to be applicable to previous years. One (June 24, 2020 11:16AM) indicates that I enter a negative number for the fees in "Other Reportable Income". Those steps don't match 2023...
