Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I had a consumer lawsuit against a rideshare company's background check company which mid-idtentifed me. I have confirmed with the lawyers office that I only need to pay the amount I was awarded after fee's. The 1099 shows the full amount. That was given by the company being sued and it makes sense that they would put the full amount. My question is how to file properly to reflect that I only owe the amount I actually recieved, and I think you answered that in the last paragraph. It was also a 1099, not a W2.
