I got a W-2 and a 1099-misc for a wage settlement lawsuit. I have determined from the forums that both need to be entered in TT. 1099 misc. is for $8595 which includes attorney fees of $4362. If I subtract attorney fees from 1099 misc. income from box 3, the amount of $4233 is identical to W2 amount. I have entered W2 amount under W2 wages and salary as well as entered 1099 MISC under other income. Am I reporting this twice and paying taxes on both? When I was entering 1099 Misc income, it asked me if they were for back wages. What should I answer there?
