Yes, I can confirm this was an "unlawful discrimination" settlement. This is based on how the IRS is defining "unlawful discrimination". Since the attorney's fees and costs incurred in the claim involved an employment relationship with a former employee, this would be defined by the IRS as "unlawful discrimination. This would be an above-the-line deduction. The deduction being claimed is less than the settlement amount I'm including in income for the tax year.
