Please help. I entered W2, I owe IRS $900. I received 1099NEC from my lawyer because I won a 40k settlement. When I entered $40k, the amount I owe IRS jumped to $10k!!

I called TurboTax 3x. We tried 1099-MISC, same results. Tried "other income" same results. I can't possibly pay $10k to Feds because I won $40k. Please help. TIA
